CREATIVE DIRECTION:
Vision meets execution
I don’t just “direct creative”; I shape narratives, build experiences, and craft brands that make an impact. From high-level brand strategy to the nitty-gritty of art direction, I bring a sharp eye and a strategic mindset to every initiative. My approach is equal parts vision and execution—blending creativity with business outcomes to make sure every piece of work isn’t just beautiful, but effective.
Beyond the work itself, I partner closely with marketing teams to align creative with business strategy, ensuring every campaign and brand initiative drives results. I’ve built and led high-performing creative departments, developed best-in-class processes, managed budgets, and scaled teams. As a mentor and leader, I foster an environment where designers, writers, and creatives can do their best work—pushing boundaries, refining their craft, and growing into the next generation of creative leaders.

“During my time at Degreed, David was my most treasured creative collaborator. He created an environment for us to experiment and be playful, which lead to more unique results.
