A B O U T

I am a Brooklyn based creative director and art director who specializes in museum and experience design. During my 20 years of experience, I have had the pleasure of collaborating closely with writers, scholars, curators, media producers and architects through all phases of design development — from concept through final installation.

The heart of my practice is bringing meaningful stories to life of all kinds.

I have a hands-on approach to leading teams, fostering a collaborative environment between graphic, spatial, interactive and motion designers. I have directed a wide range of print, digital and spatial projects that have helped my clients realize world-class experiences.

Currently I am working on commissions for the Texas Historic Commission and the Navy SEALs Museum, San Diego.
