Brand Designer and Creative Lead with 10+ years of experience across identities, campaigns and live experiences. Built Coast’s current identity and guide its social and campaign direction.

Earlier work includes Faramove’s logo and early visual identity, BetrWorkr’s visual direction, and communications at The New Church.
Accounting taught me to ask what the business needs. Design taught me to ask what people will feel. The interesting work happens when both answers belong in the same idea.
Direction with hands-on craft.
Clear creative briefs, stakeholder conversations and team leadership, backed by the ability to make the work myself.
An idea with room to travel.
Campaigns that move from a phone screen to a printed backdrop to a live event, with the same brand thinking behind them.
Built it.
Led it. Lived it.
