From Visual Narratives to Written Worlds

I’m a Creative Director with over a decade of experience at a global agency, turning bold ideas into powerful visual stories across digital, print, and experiential platforms. Storytelling has always been the foundation of my work—whether leading teams, shaping campaigns, or building worlds through design.

In recent years, that focus has evolved into creative writing. I’ve pivoted toward writing young adult novels, where I bring the same cinematic thinking, emotional depth, and attention to detail into long-form storytelling.

When I’m not creating, I’m usually outdoors—mountain biking, running, hiking, surfing, snowboarding, or wakeboarding. I also enjoy CrossFit, weightlifting, and swimming. Weekends are for books, movies, family time, and getting my hands dirty in the yard.
