Resume/CV

About

I’m an Art Director focused on narrative-led brand strategy and character-driven worlds. My work spans branding, publishing, and original IP, with an emphasis on tone, restraint, and how visual decisions shape meaning over time.

I’ve spent over a decade working across institutional and independent contexts, including long-term art direction roles at Penguin Random House and founding The Lobster Studio, an illustration-led lifestyle brand built and directed from concept through launch. Across both, I’ve collaborated closely with writers, illustrators, and cross-functional teams to develop cohesive visual systems that support story, audience, and intent.

Much of my thinking is informed by children’s and family storytelling, where clarity, character, and emotional precision matter most. I’m currently focused on senior art direction and creative roles where judgment, authorship, and long-form thinking are central to the work.
