creative director art

Born on the west coast, raised in the south, cut in New York City, and washed up on the shores of Connecticut. I studied studio art at UNC-Chapel Hill and Florence, Italy, art direction at VCU Brandcenter, and survival in New York. I have a seeing-eye-dog reject (Wilbur) and a funny toddler (Brooks). Pre-agency life, I worked in hospitality, designing and branding a boutique hotel and restaurant in Miami, and multiple restaurants in Raleigh/Durham for Giorgios Hospitality Group. This is where I learned to care FOR your guests, not ABOUT them. Now the client is the guest, and I specialize in sharing the 5-star ideas, not the 3-star ones. And not unlike my hotel, which has since been sold to the Hilton Curio Collection, I’m here to make 5-star work.
