I'm a creative executive who builds brand campaigns and creative teams, with a digital-first video-forward approach.

As VP of Art Direction at Saks Fifth Avenue, I led a global visual creative team of more than 30 people across New York and Bangalore through a major transformation in luxury retail, as the company separated its e-commerce business into a standalone digital retailer.

Alongside directing seasonal brand campaigns with leading photographers and directors, I transformed my team into a video-first creative organization, with paid and organic social as the primary output. I redesigned the site and app around a major replatform, rethought paid media, and got ahead of incorporating AI into our creative workflow before it became an industry standard.

Before Saks: Senior Creative Director at Gilt Groupe, where I repositioned the brand from just a flash-sale site into a full lifestyle brand. Digital Art Director at Tommy Hilfiger, where I built the brand's first US in-house digital creative team.

Outside the office I'm in Brooklyn making music, making dinner, and making craft projects with my two daughters. When I'm not making things look beautiful, I'm somewhere in Prospect Park or losing track of time in a bookstore.
