About me

I'm a multidisciplinary Creative Director based in Torrance, California, driven by a lifelong passion for design. From childhood drawings on the bottom of See's Candy boxes to proudly graduating from Art Center in Pasadena—the same place my father honed his design talents and became an accomplished designer—my journey has been a testament to that passion. Give me a blank canvas, and I'll deliver!

I specialize in creating immersive brand experiences, conference environments, motion graphics, presentations, and custom fabrications. What truly differentiates my approach is extensive pre-visualization: I use detailed 2D renderings and 3D animations to ensure clients clearly 'see' and get genuinely excited about their projects long before production begins.

My role as Creative Director extends far beyond initial concept. It encompasses senior-level design execution, comprehensive project management (overseeing budgets, managing vendor relations, and coordinating logistics from production to on-site installation) and I'm always prepared to jump in and assist with packing, shipping, and installations, always ready with a sharp X-Acto blade and foam core close by!

Capabilities

Creative Management

Beyond the design itself, I often manage the creative portion of an overall project budget. This includes sourcing the right vendors and mapping out clear production timelines. My goal is always to ensure a smooth, end-to-end workflow, from initial concept right through to completion.

Production

I'm a hands-on professional who drives projects from concept to completion. I actively manage and participate in production, shipping logistics, and even on-site installation and dismantle. You can count on me to do whatever it takes to get the job done right.
