Creative @ Preston Spire
March 2024 → July 2026
Like raw denim and old punk records, the good stuff is meant to be worn in not out. I'm an Art Director and Designer who values the things that gain character over time. I'm a fan of the rigor. Whether I'm concepting a campaign or fine-tuning the final execution I'm not here to be the loudest. I'm here to be the one you remember after the lights go out.
Some people like the "Director" title because of the seat at the table. I like it because I get to stay in the mud with the work. After time in the industry, I've realized that "creative" is just a fancy word for being a student of human nature.
I make things that make people feel something. Or at least stop them from scrolling long enough to wonder why they're looking.
