Method
My method begins with the assumption that no one knows everything, creating a foundation of curiosity and openness. Drawing from over 14 years of experience across music, events, branding, and hospitality, I’ve learned that the true glue of any successful project is human connection and community. By fostering collaboration, empowering creative voices, and staying adaptable, I ensure every project is not only impactful but also deeply rooted in shared purpose and authenticity.

My CV
As a co-founder of FDCSTUDIOS and creative director at HAIGHTBRAND, I served as the visionary behind the groundbreaking citywide compilation album C.S.S., uniting prominent artists like Lucki, Saba, Noname, and Mick Jenkins under one cohesive project. This role demanded a hands-on approach to art direction, from defining the visual identity of the album to ensuring its messaging resonated across various creative platforms, all while fostering collaboration within the artistic community.
At ULTRA RECORDS / SONY MUSIC, my role as creative director expanded further into art direction, where I oversaw the visual and creative development for global artists like MK, Dom Dolla, Austin Millz, and Mahmut Orhan. I worked closely with artists and their teams to design cohesive branding, manage photo and video shoots, and create dynamic visuals that captured each artist’s essence while engaging their audiences. These projects required maintaining strong relationships with photographers, designers, and other creative professionals to deliver consistent, impactful campaigns.
One of my most defining experiences in art direction was contributing to Chance the Rapper’s Grammy-winning Coloring Book album. Beyond collaboration, my role involved ensuring the artistic narrative of the project stayed consistent and powerful, from visuals to branding, and connecting with creatives who could amplify its vision.
I also brought my art direction skills into the entrepreneurial space with the creation of OHBOY, a brand and restaurant concept in Brooklyn. I led the development of the brand identity, from logo design to interior aesthetics, alongside orchestrating viral campaigns that married compelling visuals with strategic content creation. This lead to global massive impression during the first year, 1 million dollars in sales and featured spots on network tv “Drew Barrymore Show.
My foundation in art direction is supported by years of experience in event production, content creation, and creative strategy. I thrive on building and maintaining relationships within the creative community—whether with artists, designers, or other visionaries—to foster collaboration and elevate the impact of every project. My strategic mindset ensures each initiative is not only visually stunning but also aligned with a brand’s larger narrative and goals.
