About me…
Throughout my life, the automobile has remained a constant passion. I pursued mechanical engineering with the dream of designing cars, as I believe in merging science with art. My professional journey started as a graphic designer in New York City where I worked on corporate identities and branding. I then moved to California and joined studios like R/Greenberg Associates (R/GA) and Imaginary Forces, where I had the fortune of working on incredible main title sequences for film and television projects.
Later on, I moved to Seattle and joined a startup design studio called Digital Kitchen.
While there, I directed a commercial for Ford that played during the Super Bowl. As my career evolved, I joined BMW's Designworks and transitioned into the world of digital user experiences. My focus shifted towards in-car experiences, and I continue to pursue this passion as a Design Director for Fisker.
My love for the automotive industry extends beyond my professional life; I teach high-performance driving on the race track and capture its beauty through my photography. Through all of these experiences, I have learned that passion and hard work can lead to incredible opportunities and achievements.
