About me
I am a hands-on Creative Director with over 25 years of experience developing corporate and brand identity programs for a broad range of clients, from global corporations to startups. I deliver high-level thinking and design systems that enable new brands to compete in a crowded marketplace and venerable brands to remain relevant.

As a design leader I have re-imagined brands for airline, biotech, finance, healthcare, publishing, social, and technology clients at global design firms such as Gensler, Landor, Luxon Carrà, MetaDesign.

I grew up in Montreal, began my career in Toronto and moved to San Francisco via Stockholm, Sweden.
As a sole proprietor I have delivered design programs for clients in Canada, Czech Republic, Switzerland,
UAE, UK, and the US. I hold an MFA from the Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and an honours
graduate from Ontario College of Art & Design University, Toronto, Canada, and recipient of the prestigious
Design Canada Award.

I live and work in Oakland, California.
