About

My Experience

From Designer to Creative Director for the world’s biggest brands

 
 

With over two decades in brand and creative leadership, I’ve helped shape and scale global brands across media and technology. My career began in New York at the School of Visual Arts and evolved from hands-on design into leading brand strategy and creative direction for publicly traded SaaS companies.

Today, I serve as Director of Brand Marketing at Freshworks, where I’ve led brand evolution during pivotal moments of growth, partnering closely with executives, building global creative teams, and developing scalable brand systems across campaigns, digital experiences, video, and events.

I’ve had the privilege of working with brands including Freshworks, Cornerstone OnDemand, Code and Theory, MTV Networks, Nickelodeon, Howard Stern, NFL, MLB, Nascar, and Major League Pickleball, translating complex ideas into clear, modern, and differentiated brand experiences.

More recently, I’ve integrated the latest AI tools into my creative process, leveraging generative image, video, and audio platforms to accelerate production, explore concepts faster, and improve creative efficiency. I actively use AI to prototype visuals, develop motion and sound, streamline workflows, and analyze performance data.

I believe the most powerful brand work balances clarity, systems thinking, and creative ambition. Whether building identity frameworks, shaping executive narratives, or leading cross-functional teams, my focus is always the same: simplify complexity and create work that scales.
