Design Director - Prince, NFL, Ultragame, Brooklyn Athletics 

Top Management

I’m a New York-based Apparel Design Director with an entrepreneurial spirit. I’ve played an integral role in leading the design and art direction of globally recognized brands over the past 15 years, during which I’ve had the unique experience of working on both product design and brand identity. I approach every project with creative vision, collaborative leadership, and thoughtful problem solving to build new brands from the ground up or invigorate existing ones. With a background as a graphic artist, I like finding where art complements commerce - and believe there’s a design solution for every business challenge.
