About Me
I sit at the intersection of strategy, design, and execution. As the Head of Creative at ControlUp, I specialize in shaping the visual identity for the IT and cybersecurity sectors. I don't just manage from a distance; I’m a hands-on leader who thrives on getting into the weeds of a project—whether that means crafting a brand strategy, developing front-end code, or animating dynamic motion design.
My approach combines high-level creative direction with a deep technical execution toolkit. I have built a versatile skill set across illustration, digital design, and video production to create high-impact marketing campaigns that make complex technology accessible, engaging, and memorable.
I'm inspired by modernist graphic design and illustration, antique emblems and logos, Disney Imagineering, Americana, Paul Rand, Michael Beirut, Frank Lloyd Wright, editorial design, data visualization, motion design, patterns, collages, textures, and much more. I love to learn, experiment and keep up with the latest design and technology trends.
I live in Illinois with my wife, two daughters and a floppy-eared beagle. In my free time, I enjoy listening and learning about 80s hardcore music, running, eating yummy food and having fun with my family. All love and respect for everyone ✌🏻.
