Brand identity
& art direction

Independent studio in Brooklyn, NY. I work with architecture, hospitality and design brands across the US and Europe.

I design brands
that feel
like places.

For more than a decade I've helped studios, hotels and product brands find a visual voice of their own — without trends that expire next summer.
