Creative Director · Experiential & Event Design

Experiential design leader,
steeped in brand strategy
and architecture

20 years leading brand experiences for Intuit, Disney, Oracle NetSuite, and Meta, from global events for 13,000 people to permanent executive briefing centers.

Approach

Innovation in prototyping

I introduced immersive 3D and VR prototyping to the way my team at Intuit visualizes space, beginning with the Customer Innovation Center. What started as an experiment is now part of how we work: we walk through designs long before they’re built, decisions come sooner, and stakeholders arrive onsite already knowing the space.

About

If it’s a design problem, I’m in

Flat lay of a passport, architect’s scale, vintage camera, laser measure, family photos and a Gene Krupa record

I’m an award-winning Creative Director with 20 years of experience defining the frontier of experiential design through a rare, high craft blend of brand design and interior architecture. I don’t just manage experiences; I architect them, possessing the singular ability to bridge abstract brand strategy with rigorous technical production to create sensory rich environments that drive deep emotional engagement.

I own every project end to end, from the first conceptual spark and executive alignment to the final, high fidelity onsite execution. Well respected as a mentor and subject matter expert, I work cross collaboratively to inspire teams and ensure every touchpoint is a meaningful, authentic, and elevated expression of the brand mission.
