Digital Designer & Art Director
Introduction
I'm a digital designer and art director based in San Francisco, with over 12 years of experience creating brands, products, and experiences that connect with people.
My work spans branding, UI/UX design, and creative direction for startups, agencies, and Fortune 500 companies. I believe great design is invisible - it gets out of the way and lets the message shine.

Case Study
Brand identity for a renewable energy startup
Solaris Energy came to us with a mission: make solar energy accessible to every homeowner. They needed a brand that felt approachable and trustworthy, not cold and corporate like most energy companies.
We developed an identity system built around warmth and optimism, using a sunrise-inspired color palette and organic shapes that suggest growth and natural energy.
