My experience has been built on strategy-led design thinking and visual communication solutions to bring brand stories to life through visual and verbal identity, packaging, environments and signage, print, digital and motion applications. I've led design teams in collaborative, strategic projects in-house and for global brands, interfacing and building relationships with stakeholders directly and managing relationships with various partners and vendors.
I've been privileged to work for DoorDash (SF), Prophet (NY + SF studios), the Johnson & Johnson Global Strategic Design Office (NY), Struck (SLC) and completed an internship for Michael Bierut's team at Pentagram (NY).
You can also find me on LinkedIn and you can email me here.
I'm a proud father of 5. I love to play with the little ones and try to make time for some yoga, volleyball, ping pong, learning the uke and banjo or playing at the ninja warrior/parkour gym. I also love learning languages — I can speak conversational Portuguese, can almost get by in Spanish and have been learning a little French.

Morgan, Estée Lauder, McDonald’s, Vitamin World, Travelers, the Denver International Airport, Johnson & Johnson, Aveeno, Acuvue, Dreamworks, Nickelodeon, Warner Brothers, Fox Entertainment, Paramount Studios, Walden Media, Lexus, United Airlines, New York Jets, Men's Health, Yale School of Architecture, Princeton University, Fashion Institute of Technology, Brigham Young University
