WHO I AM

I make things that move - hearts, minds, brands, and sometimes whole companies.

For the last decade, I’ve helped restless brands find their voice, sharpen their edge, and stay unmistakably cool.

Sometimes that means crafting a manifesto. Sometimes it means launching a campaign, an org structure, a product line, or a prototype from a dream.

WHAT I DO: BRAND+MYTH

︎︎︎I BUILD BRANDS WITH STRATEGIC FOUNDATIONS, NARRATIVE SYSTEMS, AND LIVING MYTHS THAT ALIGN TEAMS, MARKETS, AND MEANING.

Like redefining Dassault Falcon Jet for a new generation of wealth in China; creating visual scaffolding for orbital refueling for SpaceX; or designing brand infrastructure for ventures chasing the edge of what's possible.

︎︎︎ If that stirs something, reach out.

WHAT I DO: CREATIVE DIRECTION

︎︎︎I GUIDE PROJECTS FROM SPARK TO LAUNCH - INJECTING CINEMATIC STORYTELLING AND CULTURE-FIRST SENSIBILITY.

Like reimagining Brompton Bikes for the American market through design-driven storytelling and cultural insight; developing a visual identity for a cannabis futurist brand; or developing a publicity campaign for Massimo’s Freedom Watch that reframed wellness as performance.

︎︎︎ If you're building something bold, I’d love to hear.

WHAT I DO: STRATEGY

︎︎︎WHEN STORY BECOMES INFRASTRUCTURE, STRATEGY HAS TO SING. I HELP COMPANIES FIND THEIR VOICE, SHAPE THEIR ROLE IN CULTURE, AND SAY THE UNSAID.

Like turning Range Rover into an invitation-only myth; reimagining wellness through strategic provocation (yes, that was Martha, naked); or crafting the sensorial identity of a wearable designed to whisper, not shout.

︎︎︎ If that kind of thinking speaks to you, let’s talk.

WHAT I DO: CREATIVE OPS

︎︎︎I’VE DESIGNED MODULAR CONTENT MACHINES, BUILT AGENCY TEAMS INSIDE CLIENTS, AND AUTOMATED THE UGLY STUFF SO THE MAGIC GETS MADE.

Like rebranding the agency at CreativeDrive - naming studios, rewriting the brand book, and building the creative team from the ground up; or overhauling pitch ops for a global agency to turn teams and decks into strategy engines.

︎︎︎ If you need clarity with a heartbeat, get in touch.

WHAT I DO: FUTURECRAFT

︎︎︎THE BEST IDEAS FEEL INEVITABLE. I HELP VISIONARY TEAMS BACKCAST FROM THE EDGE, MAKING PROVOCATIONS REAL.

Like creating visual scaffolding for a lunar mission developed for SpaceX; transforming a silicon-anode battery into a Wonderland-level narrative for Enovix; or turning ambient solar tech into an experiential light show for CES.

︎︎︎ If you're working on what’s next, I probably want in.

WHAT I DO: VOICE+VOLTAGE

︎︎︎I DESIGN WORKSHOPS AND LEAD CONVERSATIONS THAT GET TO THE BONE OF THINGS.

Like staging a salon on the death of magazines; guiding a workshop where creatives met their shadow selves; or pitching a Mars mission to the wrong crowd.

︎︎︎ If it bends culture, I’m already there.

NOT SURE WHERE TO BEGIN? NEITHER AM I.
LET’S FIND OUT.
