Creativity is a puzzle, I just like figuring it out.

I make things people don’t scroll past. I remix references, ideas, and culture into visuals that actually hit, not just pretty work, but work that sticks with you.

Design, photography, film, I move across all of it. Campaigns, merch, social, whatever the format is. If it feels forced, it’s not it. You can’t fake a puzzle piece into fitting.

I don’t start by making things. I start by figuring out what’s worth making. Then I push it, break it, rebuild it until it feels right.

Everything I make is pulled from real life, music, the internet, culture, random observations, turned into something personal but still relatable. Real work, made by a real person.

I’m based near NYC and I’m ready to jump into campaigns, merch, social, and anything media-driven. I can work within a brand, love working in a team and interested in pushing it somewhere new.

I bring creativity, grit, and producer energy. Big picture thinking, small detail obsession, and a strong “yes, and…” mindset.

Why me? I don’t want to make “good” work. I want to make cool sh*t.

Two men are having a discussion in a meeting room. One man with long hair and a beard is wearing a black jacket and cap, leaning on a wooden table. The other man with curly hair is wearing a black hoodie and green pants, gesturing with his hands. There are colorful posters and sticky notes on the walls, and a window with papers taped to it.

" I approach every project like a puzzle, connecting creativity, strategy, and collaboration. With energy, adaptability, and a passion for teamwork and the work. I help ideas click into place because the best work happens when we build something bigger, better, together. “
