My passion for design and advertising has taken
me on some great adventures. To both coasts (LA & NY) and back home where I am currently the Creative Director at Outrigger Hotels & Resorts in Hawai‘i.
Over my 20 years in the business, I’ve worked on everything from print ads to short films. I’ve directed photo and video shoots and even stepped in as a stylist for a few. I’ve had success creating work for a variety of clients with big, small and no budgets. I have also enjoyed some recognition along the way.
Every new project brings new challenges but also
opportunities to collaborate, create and exceed expectations. That’s what continues to inspire me.
