Profile

Creative leader directing brand, motion and 3D work across broadcast, automotive and agency settings. Six years as Art Director at Blue Gorilla Digital; now producing the on-air promo and 3D package for KKTV 11 News (CBS · E.W. Scripps). I build brand systems, direct campaigns from concept through delivery, mentor the designers around me, and still make the work myself, with an AI-assisted pipeline that cuts production time without cutting quality.
