My experience includes serving as an Art Director at Burrell Communications, the nation’s largest multicultural agency specializing in the African American market. In that role, I helped steer culturally resonant campaigns, mentored junior creatives, and partnered closely with strategy, account, and production teams to deliver work that moved both audiences and business outcomes. I am a graduate of Chicago Portfolio School, where I built the conceptual rigor and design discipline that continue to shape my leadership style today. Outside of work, I pursue my passion for automobiles by restoring and racing my 1984 Ford Mustang SVO. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ade9a59aa49a1382e469e61/1626108422362-1G0APSKHW07MFG6Z075X/newcross.jpg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ade9a59aa49a1382e469e61/fd3e7f79-e506-4534-aa37-0ad12ecca320/IMG_3067.jpeg About - About Conceptdriven Art Director with over eight years of experience developing integrated campaigns and brand storytelling for some of the world’s most recognized brands.
