Visual Designer working at the intersection of graphics, web, and branding.

Strategy-led, culturally grounded.

            I've opened a gallery in DC, run a menswear line carried in New York, LA, and Berlin, and worked across fashion, production, and wholesale. That range isn't a detour from design. It's what makes my work sharper. I bring real-world business context to brand and digital design, so what I make doesn't just look right; it works. Based in New York, I'm looking for teams who want a designer who thinks as much as they make.
