As a founding Partner and Creative Director at Rare Volume, I collaborate with executive clients to develop innovative experiences in digital and physical environments, overseeing project development, strategy, experience design, creative production, and team development.
I've been fortunate to lead creative strategy and direction for clients in technology, education, and entertainment sectors, including Google, Samsung, Nike, Meta, Twitter, Warner Media, Reuters, BCG, among others.
I value servant leadership and believe in supporting my team's success. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of running alongside great industry leaders, which has inspired me to cultivate high-functioning creative environments and to help team members achieve their career aspirations.
