Let’s Talk About Me
I have done it all from saving baby pandas to coming up with groundbreaking, mind-blowing ideas. I’m basically the Michael Bay of Design.
Over the years I have worked with many of the leading agencies in NYC, Toronto and Lima. I’ve also had the pleasure to study with some legends such as professor and design genius Milton Glaser at SVA, one of the highlights of my career, as well as with Helayne Spivak in Miami Ad School.
I am a Social-first Creative and Sumo Wrestling enthusiast with 10+ years of experience I have a broad understanding of design in all its platforms and a solid strategy, which is at the root of my approach.
My specialties include social, visual language, brand strategy, identity, and Illustration
My artwork has been shown in galleries in Japan, North, and South America, Italy and Bangladesh, I have written, illustrated & published a children’s book, won design awards for my work, and had my work featured in a number of publications.
