Black and white portrait of a bearded man with glasses, wearing a dark shirt, in a high-contrast style.

I'm the founder and Creative Director of Lenning — Creative, a Brooklyn-based design practice with two decades of visual storytelling across print and digital — magazines, book covers, design systems, websites, and apps — for editorial, luxury, and mission-driven brands.

I've directed work for Consumer Reports, Bon Appétit, Maxim, GQ, Sotheby's, Vanity Fair, National Geographic, and Apple. Recognized by AIGA, the Type Directors Club, and Print magazine's 30 Under 30.

I also help brands integrate generative AI into their creative workflows without losing the judgment that makes design matter — thinking I've also brought into the classroom at the School of Visual Arts.

Brooklyn-based. Available for creative direction, editorial design, brand identity, fractional CD engagements, and AI design strategy.
