I’m a design leader with a strong retail background that includes senior creative management positions in strategic graphic design and product development for some of the world's largest and most successful retailers and agencies.
For over 20 years I have lead creative divisions on both the client-side and agency-side of things, previously holding positions as Vice President of Graphics and Packaging at Old Navy in New York City, Executive Creative Director of Anthem Worldwide in San Francisco and Executive Creative Director at Landor Associates in Cincinnati. Currently, I am in New York City acting as Head of Design, Global Snacks for PepsiCo.
So, what makes me tick? I guess you could say that I’m a hybrid. My core DNA is nothing but creative, but I have a head for strategy, business, finance and process that isn’t standard equipment for most right-brained types. I believe that great creative and outstanding business results go hand in hand. I take real pleasure and great pride in building strong creative teams and motivating them to deliver top notch work. I live for art in all it’s forms, graphic design, environments, fine art, music, and photography.
I’m an active member of the AIGA, as well as a member of the Design Management Institute. If you don’t find me at work, I’ll most likely be walking my two shepherd dogs, backpacking in a scenic park, or in my home recording studio writing and mixing a new song.
On this site you can tour some of the design and trend work created by the talented teams I have had the honor of inspiring and leading over the years. There are also a few award announcements and press releases thrown in to spice things up.
I can be reached through my LinkedIn profile. Feel free to reach out so we can connect. If you have any questions, ideas, or cool business propositions, feel free to give a shout.
