Warm in the wild
I grew up in New York, studied graphic design at CalArts, and have spent my career blending concept, culture, and craft to create thoughtful, human, and lived-in work. After ten years working in Los Angeles, I moved to Mexico, where I met my wife. Together, we co-founded Manyana, a modern Mexican lifestyle brand and boutique. We now live in a small coastal town with our 16-year-old son and our Shih Tzu, Isa.

Creative Path
I’ve started three companies, led design for everything from boutique resort branding to film campaigns. At Manyana, I led branding, product, and creative direction, shaping a design-forward brand rooted in place and purpose. Before that, I helped build Quality Peoples, a surf-inspired label with a global audience and strong editorial voice. Earlier in my career, I founded a boutique web design studio, helped MGM bring digital campaigns in-house, and designed work for James Bond 007 and Pedro Almodóvar films.

Now I’m shifting gears, looking to join a collaborative creative team where I can share what I’ve learned, stay hands-on, and keep growing. I am open to remote work and relocation.

Staying grounded
I’m an endurance cyclist and avid surfer, and I spend most mornings training on the bike, floating out in the ocean or in the Pilates studio. I also organize a local cycling group in Puerto Vallarta, leading weekend rides through the surrounding mountains and coast — one of my favorite ways to connect with people and place.
