If 15+ years in advertising and design have taught me anything, it’s surround yourself with talented people, do work you’re passionate about, and don’t be a jerk. Simple as that.


I’ve led design projects for a wide range of national brands and worked on the full gamut of creative challenges, from integrated campaigns and branding to digital experiences and innovative interfaces. My experience includes key roles in new business pitches and ongoing client retention, helping secure and grow long-term partnerships.


I take a hands-on approach, working closely with designers, UX, and developers to bring impactful ideas to life. My background spans product design across mobile apps, websites, and digital platforms, as well as email campaigns, digital signage, and conceptual work. I’m a strong believer in simplicity, storytelling, and collaboration, and I thrive in team environments where we problem-solve together, iterate quickly, and push for the best version of the work. 


Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to contribute impactful work for brands like Verizon, Ferrari, Chick-fil-A, CarMax, The Home Depot, Georgia Pacific, Ford, Hunter Fan, and TUMI. I’m also an experienced photographer and retoucher, which helps me bring an artful, detail-oriented eye to everything I do, whether I’m directing a shoot or building out a design system. 


I’m currently based in Atlanta. If you haven't already, go check out my work and my photography portfolio at www.launchpadphoto.com.
