hello there!

A little about myself, I was born and raised in San Diego, CA. I’ve been designing professionally for over 16 years, starting at a screen-printing studio and gradually making my way up the agency ladder.

I’ve had the incredible opportunity to work with some of the world’s biggest and most beloved brands including: Warner Bros., Paramount, Nickelodeon, Hasbro, Mattel, Star Wars, Discovery Channel, WWE, RSVLTS and Harley-Davidson. Working with so many different areas in the entertainment, lifestyle and consumer product industries allowed me to adapt and tailor my work to fit a wide range of design styles.

In my personal life I am a father to 3 incredible kids and husband to an amazing wife. Coffee is my creative fuel so if you ever want to grab a cup, your boy is down! I am a former member of the Jedi Council, our club was dissolved due to new imperial management. Hobbies include collecting everything to do with pop culture, pins, playing guitar, hitting the links, building Legos with my boys and adding to my lightsaber collection (currently own 14).

Collaborating with passionate creatives is my jam, so if you have something in mind don’t hesitate to get in touch!
