STUDIO CREATIVE x ART DIRECTION

BRANDING . STUDIO CREATIVE / ART DIRECTION
Building brands, studios, and creative systems from the ground up—or giving existing ones new life
I’ve worked full-time within studios for several years, alongside shorter-term engagements, leading branding and creative direction for both large organizations and smaller teams. My experience spans studio-wide branding and project-specific identities, from strategy and visual systems to campaigns, digital experiences, and physical environments.

I’ve also built and managed creative teams of different sizes, leading multidisciplinary work across studio and campus environments while keeping the brand cohesive from the big-picture vision through execution.

INSIDE THE WORLD

WORLDBUILDING · PROCESS · PRODUCTION DESIGN

This is where the worlds are actually built—through research, world rules, lore, visual development, production design, environments, characters, materials, lighting, spatial thinking, sketch-overs, prototypes, technical exploration, and constant iteration.

I work from the feeling and story outward, establishing the visual and narrative logic of a world before directing how it becomes real. I develop the systems, references, environments, details, and experiences that give an idea its identity, then work across disciplines to carry that vision through design, production, fabrication, technology, and final execution.

What follows is the work behind the work: mood boards, sketches, plans, WIPs, paint-overs, experiments, production notes, failures, discoveries, and creative decisions—the process of turning an idea into a world people can see, enter, play, feel, and remember.
