Building cohesive (and delicious) creative systems across brand, photography, video, and content.
Welcome to my digital table.
I’m a food-obsessed Chicago-based creative who believes great food and beverage brands deserve even greater artistic direction, and I've spent over a decade making that happen.
I've led brand, design, digital, and content work across hospitality and CPG, building campaigns that look good and perform. I bring analytical rigor to creative work, which means the ideas I push forward are grounded in strategy, not just instinct.
When I'm not directing creative, I'm busy launching the viral breakfast popup Morning Jay’s in Chicago with my partner, because the best way to understand food brands is to build one, am I right?
