SENIOR GRAPHIC DESIGNER & art director
Designing clear, engaging visual systems across print and digital—bringing structure, craft, and human focus to complex ideas.
ABOUT
A Designer Who Earned His Wings
I never set out to become a celestial being of clean typography and balanced color palettes — it just happened somewhere between conceptual thinking, hands-on design, and the occasional creative miracle under deadline. If I’m a “fallen angel,” it’s only because a project asked for one more thoughtful round of revisions.
A senior designer with a Wide Halo Span
My work spans digital, print, branding, campaigns, and UX-adjacent problem solving, with a strong focus on hands-on design and visual consistency. Whether it’s shaping a visual identity or supporting the tone of a complex initiative, I focus on clarity, cohesion, and the details that make design sing.
Bonus Powers
(Not Quite Miracles, But Close)
Alongside my creative work, I bring systems thinking, DAM experience, and structure that helps good ideas scale without losing their shine.
Still Figuring Out What Cloud I'm Assigned To
Wherever I land, I bring craft, curiosity, and just enough winged mischief to keep the work — and the process — enjoyable.
Experience
The Work
My work emphasizes thoughtful design, consistency, and craft across agency, in-house, and large public programs. I’m comfortable owning projects from concept through final production in environments where accuracy matters.
Visual Design & Creative Execution
I design clear, engaging visual solutions for healthcare and public-facing initiatives across print and digital platforms. My approach balances concept, usability, and execution to ensure work holds up in real-world use.
Campaign & Brand Design
I create brand identities and campaign materials across print, presentation, environmental, and digital touchpoints. Much of this work involves adapting established systems for new audiences while maintaining consistency and clarity.
Production, Execution, & Craft
I bring hands-on experience in layout, typography, file prep, and quality control to every project. This attention to detail ensures work is accurate, polished, and production-ready through final delivery.
UX, Accessibility & Systems
I’ve supported user-facing platforms by contributing visual design within accessible, scalable frameworks. I design with standards like Section 508 and WCAG in mind and understand how CMS and DAM systems impact execution.
Collaboration & mentorship
I collaborate closely with writers, strategists, UX designers, and stakeholders to align creative goals and execution. I also support junior designers by offering guidance on workflow, craft, and decision-making.
