What are you looking for?

I am a Creative Director and hands-on production leader with 15+ years of experience building campaigns, branded content, commercial production and photography from concept to final delivery. My strength lies in my ability to grow an idea creatively while understanding the practical cost of execution

With experience leading projects across product campaigns, entertainment, lifestyle brands, local business marketing, and cinematic content, I bring a rare mix of visual direction, audience instinct, budget accountability, and production fluency built from years of practical experience. That foundation extends into the full post-production and digital pipeline. I’m proficient in Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator, and have hands-on experience designing static Google display ads, producing YouTube and Meta ad campaigns, and tracking performance through KPI analysis to inform creative iteration.

Whether directing a Cavaliers Scream Team photo campaign, producing broadcast commercials for auto and real estate clients, or building a content system for a fitness brand’s subscriber base, my direction is always the same creative clarity, execution discipline, and work that converts. Enjoy!

Creative Director - Photographer - Operator

Branding Eyeroc Media

As Creative Director, Brand Manager, Photographer, and Video Production Manager, I helped grow the company from fashion, swimsuit, and editorial photography into commercial campaigns, celebrity and franchise work, dance team media, dealership marketing, salon and local business content, cinematic commercials, and festival-level narrative projects. I led the creative direction, visual identity, photography, video production, editing, client-facing execution, budget awareness, and team coordination while helping the brand adapt through the rise of Instagram and Meta/Facebook, including growing its Facebook presence to approximately 3.7K followers. The company’s growth proved my ability to build a creative brand, evolve with market demand, manage production from concept to delivery, and turn a small studio into a recognizable media company.

Timeline: 3 Seasons

Led the creative direction and photography for the Cleveland Cavaliers Scream Team across three consecutive seasons, developing a distinct visual identity for each year’s photoshoot and autograph photocard campaign.

Across all three seasons, I directed the creative approach, photography style, movement capture, posing, visual tone, and final photocard presentation. The work had to function both as promotional imagery and as autograph-ready fan merchandise, which required balancing personality, team branding, visual clarity, and collectible appeal.

Created a vibrant lifestyle campaign for Lyte, an energy drink brand positioned around flavor, energy, fitness, and beach-ready confidence.

Quest

Working with Quest and Warrick

Led a 5-person team for a Quest Diagnostics commercial spot featuring Hall of Fame football player Warrick Dunn, created to promote the importance of getting tested.

The campaign concept was built around the theme “Tackle Your Testing,” using football language to make preventive health action feel direct, memorable, and approachable. I shaped the creative direction around the idea of turning testing into something active: not something to avoid, but something to take on

Creative Director and Campaign Lead

Leveraging the energy
