About Me

I’ve spent 30 years solving problems through design — 15 of those leading creative strategy as a Creative Director across non-profits, manufacturing, luxury brands, banking, and fintech. I know how to build trust in a brand when it matters most: when the deadline is savage, the stakes are high, and failure isn’t an option.

I don’t just design — I diagnose, ideate, and execute with precision. I work fast because I listen sharp, strip problems down to their core, and immediately start building solutions that move brands forward. My method is focused, methodical, and brutally effective. Once I know where the leaks are, it doesn’t take long to stop the bleeding and start the climb.

I come in, figure out what’s broken, and fix it without dragging the process out. Whether it’s leading rebrands for $500M companies or transforming fragmented startups into unified forces, I make sure brands aren’t just seen — they are remembered, trusted, and chosen.

Real Talk Before We Work Together

1. What exactly is a Brand MRI?2025-05-01T00:33:44+00:00

It’s a 72-hour deep dive into your brand’s guts—site, socials, decks, print, all of it. I find every trust leak, rank what’s broken by business impact, and deliver a step-by-step plan to plug the holes. It’s not fluff—it’s a creative audit that exposes what’s costing you money and momentum.

2. Who is this for?2025-05-01T00:34:08+00:00

Founders, marketers, agencies, and fast-moving brands that need more than “design help.” If you want someone who can lead creative, not just push pixels, this is for you.

3. What makes you different from an agency or a subscription studio?2025-05-01T00:34:40+00:00

I’m one guy who gives a damn. No layers. No bloated process. No assistant pretending to be me. When you work with me, you get 30 years of creative experience and a partner who thinks strategically, delivers quickly, and isn’t afraid to tell you what’s broken.

4. What if I just need some design work?2025-05-01T00:35:24+00:00

Start with the Brand MRI. We’ll see what’s really needed. If it’s a design sprint, we’ll hit it hard. If it’s a bigger issue, I’ll show you how to fix it. Either way, you walk away with clarity—and a plan.

5. Do you do long-term retainers?2025-05-01T00:39:11+00:00

I do sprints and Fractional CD engagements. No open-ended retainers. No drifting timelines. If we work together, we’re on a mission—and we stay in motion until the work is done or the goal is hit.

6. What’s the turnaround time like?2025-05-01T00:38:54+00:00

If we’re executing—expect speed. Deliverables often turn around in 48 hours. But when we’re setting strategy or defining the look and feel of a brand, I take time to cook. Fast when it’s time to build. Patient when it’s time to think. And when it’s time to scale, I’ll bring in trusted collaborators I know can execute without compromising the vision.

7. Do you use other people or outsource anything?2025-05-01T00:38:31+00:00

Only when needed, and only when it serves the outcome. I’m not an agency, but I’ve built a tight network of pros. I bring in help when we need speed or scale—but I always stay hands-on, lead the vision, and protect the brand like it’s my own.

8. Can you work with my existing team or agency?2025-05-01T00:41:08+00:00

Absolutely. I slot in clean, collaborate fast, and cut through the noise. I’m not here to play politics—I’m here to drive clarity, momentum, and results. I’ll work with whoever’s in the room as long as they’re aligned on the goal.

9. What industries do you specialize in?2025-05-01T00:41:50+00:00

I’ve worked with everyone from Fortune 500s to disruptive startups across tech, finance, manufacturing, media, and more. But honestly, industry doesn’t matter. Ambition does. If you want to grow and you’re serious about doing the work—we’ll get along great.

10. What if I’m not ready yet?2025-05-01T00:43:22+00:00

Then the Brand MRI is your move. It gives you clarity, insight, and a battle plan—whether you hire me or not. But don’t wait until things are on fire. The best clients I’ve had made the decision before the chaos hit.

11. What if I don’t like what you recommend in the Brand MRI?2025-05-01T00:55:12+00:00

Then we talk about it. I’m not here to drop a report and vanish—I’m here to help you see clearly and move smarter. You’ll always understand the why behind my feedback, and if something doesn’t click, we’ll dig in together.

12. Do you offer refunds?2025-05-01T00:55:52+00:00

Nope. This is high-touch, custom work. You’re not buying a template—you’re buying my brain, experience, and direct attention. That said, I always deliver more than expected. Ask anyone I’ve worked with.

13. Can we do just a call instead of the full MRI?2025-05-01T00:59:47+00:00

You can book a call—but if you’re serious, do the MRI. It’s the fastest way to get clarity and real answers instead of surface-level advice. You’ll get 10x the value, and if we vibe, we move into deeper work with zero guesswork.

14. Do you offer white-label or ghost services for agencies?2025-05-01T00:59:47+00:00

Sometimes—if the partnership’s right and the end-client is serious. But I don’t vanish behind the curtain for pennies. If I’m ghosting, I’m still leading.

15. What happens after the MRI if I want to work with you long-term?2025-05-01T00:59:48+00:00

We map it out based on your needs. Maybe it’s a Sprint Retainer. Maybe it’s a Fractional CD setup. Maybe we build a custom hybrid. You won’t be funneled into a cookie-cutter path—we design the relationship to win, not just to continue.
