Art Director

Creative & Design

I am an award-winning Designer that has worked for both boutique agencies and Fortune 500 companies, having designed everything from logos for cover bands to comprehensive brand lines that have exceeded $400M per year, and everything in between. Clients have ranged from non-profits to Disney•Pixar.

Clients include Mattel, Oakley, Newport Dental and California Bank & Trust, working on Identity, Catalogs, Ads, Packaging, Brochures and Direct Mail.

Worked on the recently acquired Maui Toys line of Hula Hoops, Sky Balls and Gliders and internal brands Max Trucks, Little Mighty Gym and Real Workin’ Buddies. Also work with licensors like WWE and Disney•Pixar.


Direct for a consumer products company on lines of pet and organic and Ayurvedic health products. Responsible for direction of packaging, websites, photography and brand management. Direct and negotiate budgets with printers, photographers and other vendors.

Directed packaging for Nerf, Play-Doh and My Little Pony. Worked with Hasbro to ensure all brands were on style and packaging directions were market and brand appropriate.

Assisted in the launch of a proprietary line of toy storage containers, directed photo shoots and the development of their first website. 

Worked with the young company to instill processes to better produce quality packaging and product while meeting frequently changing deadlines that ran from the U.S. to the Australian office to Hasbro and on to the Hong Kong and China teams for production.

Received multiple awards designing packaging for games and toys for brands like Uno, Scene It?, Hot Wheels, Barbie and Disney•Pixar Cars, Planes and Toy Story.

While on the Scene It? team, it made the games division the most profitable division at Mattel, working with licensors like Disney, WB, CBS, Sony and Paramount.

I moved over to art direct the Disney•Pixar Cars team to spearhead the development of the line look forthe launch of the second movie. The brand made over $400 million in 2011 alone. The look was so well received that we were asked to develop the style guide for Disney to give out to all their lines of business.

I directed two in-house designers as well as a team of designers and production artists in Hong Kong and mainland China. I was also responsible for directing and budgeting outside vendors.

Designed collateral, brochures, packaging, logos and identity packages. Clients included ConAgra, Antioch University, California Bank & Trust and Toyota. In the case of Toyota, we designed a proprietary intranet site for the launch of the Scion line of cars. The site was used by dealers to teach and assist salespeople and customers about the new line of cars and the customizing options that are at the core of the Scion brand. My responsibilities also included art directing two designers and an intern as well as outside vendors.
