I’M AN INDEPENDENT CREATIVE DIRECTOR & DESIGNER BASED IN SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA.
HI, I’M BRIAN 👋
For over 15 years, my work has spanned luxury hotels, Michelin-starred restaurants, and iconic nightlife destinations, shaping my creative perspective, sense of style, and appreciation for memorable experiences.
Today, I work as a creative partner to founders and brands in hospitality, lifestyle, and consumer goods, bringing together my experience in creative direction, branding, packaging, and web design with a personal, collaborative approach to every project.
My philosophy? The best brands and experiences — like any dream weekend — start with a vision. From strategy and vibes to design and going live, I help bring that vision to life and make brands look and feel their best.
When I'm not at my desk, you'll find me enjoying a summer pool day, weekend brunch with my friends, planning my next trip with my partner, visiting family in Seattle, binging Netflix & Housewives, and being a “crazy dog mom” to my toy red poodle, Bing Bing.
