About

Twenty years building brand systems and on-air identities across broadcast, streaming, sport, and documentary. I've developed visual frameworks for Apple, Google, HBO, AMC, NBC Sports, CNN, FX, BBC America, and Ralph Lauren - systems designed to hold together across titles, campaigns, on-air packages, and digital platforms while feeling like a single, coherent expression.The work has earned a Clio Gold, Promax Gold, and Sports Emmy, and reflects a career spanning both external creative direction and in-house leadership, including three years as SVP Creative at Al Jazeera America, overseeing brand identity and design standards across the network's full broadcast and digital output.
