Marketing Art Director

Creative & Design

I work as the Marketing Art Director at UAG currently managing their in-house creative team in Orange County California. My portfolio showcases my projects with a focus on lifestyle and product marketing campaigns. The full breadth of my creative tool kit ranges from Graphic Design, Photography, and Video. I am very grateful that I have had the opportunity to learn and utilize multiple creative disciplines in my career. As a result, my passions lie in leading a team and helping others obtain their creative goals. The emphasis of my work ranges from concept to completion.
