ALL THINGS CREATIVE
- art directing tv commercials for Visa, painting murals for Live Nation, building out window displays for Dylan’s Candy Bar, and even developing campaigns for brands like M&M/Mars. I’ve also had the chance to produce props for Ralph Lauren and collaborate on music video projects with A76 Productions. Each experience has pushed me to sharpen my skills, test my limits, and keep finding new ways to tell stories through the work.
01. DESIGN
Design has always been at the core of everything I do. No artificial intelligence used here, strictly homegrown, organic, free range design. Putting pencil to paper, mouse to computer, hammer to nail, paint to brush and everything in between to get from concept to completion. I thrive on creating a harmony within art and design.
02. PAINT
Some of my favorite projects have been murals, which have taken me from painting an 1,800+ square foot wall in just three days with a partner, to transforming the iconic Bonnaroo fountain in both 2016 and 2017.
I’ve brought color into the Brooklyn House Hotel, added character to local businesses, and even created hand-painted outdoor signs for neighborhood restaurants. Every mural has been its own adventure—different surfaces, different challenges, and a chance to bring spaces to life in unique ways.
03. ART DIRECTION
Straight out of SVA, I landed at BBDO and got my start in advertising. From there, I bounced around between agencies and design houses, learning the ropes and shaping my eye for art direction. I’ve long since moved on from the ad world, but I still enjoy stepping back into it when the right opportunity comes along—the process of art directing is something I’ll always love.

04. ProP DESIGN
Prop building is all about imagination meeting materials—and there are a lot of ways to make something come to life. I wouldn’t call myself a woodworker, but I know my way around the tools it takes to get a job done.
What makes these projects special is the collaboration. I’ve been lucky to work alongside incredibly talented builders, woodworkers, and creative problem-solvers who bring their expertise to the table. If I can’t do it myself, I’ve got the right person in my circle who can. You dream it—I’ll find a way to make it happen.
EXXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
For as long as I can remember I have lived by the quote, “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one”. I never have nothing to do and I am never bored. Perhaps it is because I always have a project on the burner. Here are a few fun things I've been working on.
THE BKNY PROJECT. A WORK IN PROGRESS
DKNY vs bkny
Back in 2016, I had the idea to reimagine the iconic DKNY mural from Bway into 3D wooden sculpture as BKNY—a nod to Brooklyn as the new epicenter of art, music, and culture. To bring it to life, I teamed up with a creative partner, and together we built a set of massive wooden letters that became the foundation of the project.
From there, I took the lead, layering years of research, collage, and imagery of the legends who defined New York from the ’60s through early 2000s. Though the painted layer remains unfinished and the letters have been in storage, I’m reminding the art world that BKNY is ready for a forever home.
CRAYOLA crayon mashup
Whether you're an artist or not, odds are the first thing you created, you created with a crayon. And every artist in the last 100 years or so started the same way.
This series of three life-size wooden boxes are a remix of the childhood crayon box through the lens of spray can artists & graffiti culture. Each box draws from the paint brands that defined different eras—Krylon and Rust-Oleum from graffiti’s old school days, and Montana as the new-school standard. The centerpiece, modeled after the original Crayola box, is meant as a playful homage to that childhood thrill of graduating to a fresh pack of 24 crayons, the box with the sharpener in the back. I can almost smell them now.
These boxes are about more than scale—they’re about memory and translation. They bridge the innocence of childhood creativity with the raw excitement of walking into a paint store with adult money, surrounded by walls of color.
PERSONAL works
My personal work lives on wood panels, often wrapped in vintage ornate frames. The surfaces are built through layers—coffee-stained, machine-typed paper collages, original photographs, clip art transfers, gold leaf, silkscreen, and painted typography. Each piece becomes a kind of memoir, a way of telling stories of love, loss, and pain through my art.
The work extends beyond panels too, incorporating vintage mirrors, musical instruments, wood boxes, and vintage bottles. Every object holds its own story.
