about
I believe in the power of storytelling, and in using art and design to solve problems visually. Concept and type are where I live. The idea has to be right, and every typographic decision has to earn its place.
I’m a Design Director and cofounder of Current Studio. I work across advertising, entertainment, music, and film. Same rigor, same point of view, whether it’s a vinyl package or a global brand campaign.
I’ve worked with Apple, Jordan Brand, Walmart+, Elton John, ESPN, and the Rihanna documentary. Built broadcast identity for the 83rd Oscars, American Crime Story, American Horror Story, and Snowfall. Designed title sequences for Mission: Impossible Fallout and Heroes Reborn. Launched Walmart+ at Deutsch.
Current Studio is where I get to blur the line between art and commerce. We take on special projects that lean more artistic — the kind of work that doesn’t fit neatly into a brief but needs to exist anyway.
In 2024 I was appointed to the Board of Governors at the Television Academy, where I serve as Governor of Motion & Title Design.
