Creative Direction &
Strategy

↘

I partner with brands, publishers, and agencies as a Creative Director, design strategist, and — increasingly — an AI design consultant. Whether you need someone to lead an editorial redesign, build a brand identity system from the ground up, or help your team understand what generative AI means for visual communication, I bring 20+ years of experience and a systematic approach to making complex ideas visually compelling.

WHAT I DO

Fractional Creative Director — Embedded senior creative leadership on a part-time or project basis. I partner with brands and publications that need strategic direction without a full-time hire. Whether it's setting visual strategy for a redesign, guiding a campaign, or building creative systems that scale, I bring 20+ years of experience directing design at National Geographic, Apple, Golf Digest, Sotheby's, and Bon Appétit. Ideal for growing companies or publications navigating critical creative decisions.

AI Design Strategy & Consulting — I help creative teams understand, adopt, and integrate generative AI tools—Midjourney, Claude, and others—into their design workflows. This isn't about replacing designers. It's about expanding what's possible. I offer strategic consulting, team workshops on AI integration, and hands-on creative direction for AI-assisted projects. Perfect for agencies and brands wanting to stay ahead of the curve without getting lost in the hype.

Editorial Illustration — Custom mid-century collage illustration for publications, Substacks, and media brands. Each piece is developed from concept through final art direction — not stock, not generic AI output. A visual identity your readers will recognize.

Also available — Editorial redesigns, brand identity systems, and full-project creative direction on a case-by-case basis.
