: Backstory

I’ve spent my career in brand development creating and delivering successful brand strategy, identity, print collateral, marketing, and packaging.

My experience includes developing brands and communications for local, national, and international clients. Category experience includes non-profits, educational & cultural institutions, foodservice, hospitality, tourism, consumer products, and luxury brands.

Most recently I was the Creative Director for the US office of the independent, global agency, Team Creatif. Formerly, Design Director for LKM and The Republik. As well as freelance stints for design and creative direction with BooneOakley, Modern Species, Wray Ward, FuseIdeas, Mower, and others.

My work has been recognized by and appeared in. Graphis, CommArts, How, Print, GDUSA, The Addys, AIGA, IDSA, Neenah Paper, Mohawk Papers, French Paper Co., and the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.

A native of Kitty Hawk, NC, I grew up knowing more about the weather and surf breaks than kerning and color breaks. Fortunately, my design chops were garnered at the School of Design at NC State.

I enjoy time with my family, food, craft beer, surf, and snow. I live in Charlotte, NC with my wife, two kids, and two rescue pups.
