I’ve spent my career helping organizations turn complex ideas into clear, meaningful experiences.

That’s meant building scalable brand and storytelling systems inside global companies, shaping creative that supports high-priority enterprise decisions, and designing brands, products, and environments that people actually live with.

What connects it all is a focus on clarity, alignment, and impact. I build systems and stories that help teams move faster, make better decisions, and create work that not only performs, but resonates with the people it’s meant for.

Select Experience

2021-Present
Creative Lead & Experience Manager, SaaS

Since 2021, I’ve focused on the intersection of creative, technology, and business — helping organizations translate complex products and strategies into clear, scalable storytelling.

My work has centered on SaaS and enterprise environments, supporting customer acquisition and retention through brand systems, sales narratives, corporate events, and experience design. It’s where I’ve brought together everything from my earlier career — strategy, storytelling, and execution — into systems that help teams move faster and align around a shared vision.

2013-2021
Creative Director, Live Nation’s Music Festival Division

For eight years, I worked within Live Nation’s Austin-based festival division (C3 Presents), helping shape some of the most recognized music brands in the world.

Over time, I moved from hands-on design into brand strategy and ultimately creative direction, overseeing global festival properties including Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits. The work spanned identity systems, campaigns, fan experiences, and large-scale activations — often in partnership with brands like Red Bull, the NFL, Samsung, and national organizations.

This chapter defined my approach to building brands that don’t just exist visually, but live in culture — through experiences, environments, and shared moments.

2005-Present
Independent Brand Vision

Alongside my in-house roles, I’ve built a long-running independent practice focused on brand identity, environments, and cultural work.

This includes developing foundational brand systems and creative for clients like Birds Barbershop, Warby Parker, Leafly, Verb Products, KUTX (NPR), and the Austin Film Festival. Much of this work exists in the physical world — retail spaces, products, murals, and environments — where people interact with it every day.

2011-2013
Contributing Writer, Entrepreneur Magazine

As a contributor covering SXSW, I wrote on business, culture, and emerging trends across technology, music, and media — producing fast-turnaround content that captured the energy and direction of the moment.

2005-2013
Co-Founder & Creative Director, Misprint Magazine

Misprint was an independent publication and cultural platform rooted in Austin’s music and nightlife scene.

Across 21 issues, I led the creative direction, wrote articles, designed each issue cover to cover, and helped produce events that brought the community together. It grew from a small, self-distributed zine into a widely recognized voice in the local scene, with lasting cultural impact.

2004-2012
Designer / Art Director, Agency Work

I began my career in design and advertising agencies, developing the craft and discipline that still shapes my work today.

Working across industries, I helped conceive and produce integrated campaigns spanning print, digital, outdoor, and broadcast — learning how to connect creative ideas to real business needs and deliver them at a high level.
