Resume

With 12+ years of experience, I've led the Creative Direction for high-profile projects such as CryptoKitties and NBA Top Shot, resulting in over $700 million in sales (NBA Top Shot, 2021). I united teams across the business and was lucky enough to hire and collaborate with incredibly talented creative and product designers to shape innovative products.

As Creative Director at Deliveroo, I executed a global 360 re-design, rapidly expanded the design team, and maintained exceptional design standards. I have extensive experience in brand building and people management and am highly adaptable to startup environments.

Lets work together!
