About

Brand builder. System maker.

I'm a Senior Creative Director with nearly two decades leading brand, performance and product creative — from retail at JCPenney to agency work for Toyota and Skinny Girl, to building Loosid from the ground up.

Today I design AI-native creative systems: teams, tools and processes that make great work faster, test it smarter and scale what wins.

How I work

01

Research

Start with data and people — performance signals, audience truths, category gaps.

02

Concept

Turn insight into a platform idea with clear, repeatable creative territories.

03

AI Production

Build AI-native pipelines that make on-brand work at testing speed.

04

Testing

Run structured experiments so every asset teaches us something.

05

Scale

Roll the winners out across channels, formats and markets.
