One-sentence bio

Art Direction has always been a passion of mine from the time I was 12 years-old, making my own iron-on T-shirts from designs I made in Microsoft Paint, I knew a creative job was for me. I wasn’t like other kids who wanted to be a doctor or fireman. I wanted to make the world a more beautiful and livable place by inspiring others as I have been inspired. I hope to make the world a better place for others especially for my 3 little girls. I want to impact society through my art.

Creative philosophy or approach

Visual communications is the very thing that sells Ideas. As an Art Director we use our ability to catch eyes and show the benefits of the products and services we represent. A good idea is what I strive for always and in the end hopefully after I’m gone it will be remembered. With a good idea I hope to create positive change and impact on this world.

Recent work I’m proud of

I worked on a social campaign for Capital One just recently and was able to execute a lot of fun ideas and concepts.We wanted to bring the magic to your spending by showcasing the power of Capital One rewards. We did this in a similar style done by social media influencer/film maker Zach King. I also had the pleasure of working with 10 actors and helping direct them on set.

Recent work I admired

I loved the work done by Chicago’s agency Highdive for the Super Bowl. This would be the Rocket Mortgage spot with Jason Momoa and the the Jeep Groundhog Day with Bill Murray. These were the only Super Bowl commercials that struck a smile on my face. Also the fact that it was done with a small team of about six creatives is amazing.
