Fifteen4
Design Director / Creative Director
(promoted from Senior Designer)
I am currently building brand experiences at Fifteen4 and collaborating with talented people across the design, digital, animation, and live action disciplines. I work on strategy and concept all the way through production.
I lead the design team and I’ve set a high standard for design deliverables, established a culture of growth and collaboration, and won numerous awards. I love to think big picture for the company as a whole while also conquering the day-to-day projects.
