A LITTLE ABOUT ME

I have a proven track record building distinctive, cohesive brands across digital, editorial, and experiential channels, from brand personality and visual systems to cross-functional team leadership. My experience spans ad agencies, media, branding firms, tech startups, and fintech.

As Creative Director at Bullish, I've owned the brand end-to-end and spearheaded the CoinDesk rebrand following its acquisition, shaping brand personality, developing a new core visual language for both brands, and pioneering an AI-assisted editorial image library for CoinDesk. A natural collaborator, I thrive working across teams, partnering closely with stakeholders at every level to translate business goals into creative vision.
