Creative Director, Visual Storyteller & Brand Advocate

Amplifying Purpose-Driven Brands for Maximum Impact

I’m a passionate champion of brands that are driven to positively impact both local and global communities. I relish branding campaigns that raise brand awareness for little-known organizations that seek to do well by doing good.

Since 2014, I have led Brandora Collective Inc. as CEO and creative director. Brandora Collective is a boutique brand consultancy that delivers brand clarity and distinction through design and brand strategy.

My journey began as a photographer, but I fell in love with design while earning my Master's degree in photography. Early in my career, I joined a consulting firm in Southern California as a graphic designer, and within two years I became creative director. Over the years, I've enjoyed various roles ranging from a creative director, building small brands and non-profits, to a freelance photo art director for Fortune 100 corporations.

I draw inspiration from travel, global cinema, music, and cuisine, having explored six of the seven continents. In 2015, I founded the Alameda Foodie and Film Meetup in the San Francisco Bay Area, bringing together over 1,000 members for intimate dinners, stimulating conversation, and films at the historic Alameda Theatre. For me, these experiences have illuminated the deep connection between humans, community, and our planet, and they serve as my catalyst for building brands that advocate for all three.

Let’s connect and explore how we can make a positive impact together. Thank you for visiting my site.
