I can't say, but I can help shape & grow your brand, products & team.
Let's build together.
Today, as Director of Creative Services at USAA, I lead an in-house team of talented designers focused on crafting impactful brand stories for USAA that get our members and associates to feel and do something.
After hours you can find me far from screens & data plans, boondocking in the outdoors, running in the woods, looking up & pretending to be a photographer with my son, girlfriend and dog Miro.
I architect creative organizations & I’m the standard-bearer of its culture.
I create a narrative & representation that makes a creative team’s strategy concrete, provides a "north star" and inspires the teams to build toward it.
I frame the end-to-end brand experience & establish the processes & mindsets that drive and shape the work so we can drive better business impact.
I focus on developing relationships with stakeholders, & operations to support the creative team in defining resourcing prioritization & creative opportunities.
