Creative Director | Brand Architect | Visual Strategist
Creative powerhouse with 21+ years of experience turning bold ideas into breakthrough brands. I specialize in building in-house design teams, scaling creative systems, and shaping culture-defining visuals that drive growth. At The Dope Dealers and Leitner-Wise, I launched internal creative departments that cut over $450K in costs annually and fueled a 600% surge in client growth in just six months. I’ve landed and led campaigns for powerhouse clients like Nationwide, Volkswagen, and BCI Defense—and built The Dope Dealers brand to a $1M+ valuation (excluding assets). My work spans industries, from streetwear to hospitality, with brand launches for Mi Cocina, Whiskey Cake, Velvet Taco, Denny’s, and 50 Eggs. I don’t just design—I scale brands that stick.

🎓 Full Sail University
Associate of Arts and Sciences – Digital Media
Jan 2000 – Nov 2002
Built worlds, broke molds. For my senior project, I co-developed a VR Star Wars podracing game in MultiGen Creator that turned heads—and turned Full Sail’s multi-million dollar 3D rendering rig into a campus arcade. Complete with a VR chair and goggles, our project drew a steady stream of visitors and faculty.
Dropped a short film + trailer that took Best in Class and dominated the campus film comp—ended up featured on Full Sail’s homepage. No budget, just vision.
