The full story.

I am a multi-disciplinary graphic designer and a born and bred New Yorker. I have been designing book covers, magazines, posters, album covers, logos, advertisements, and apparel professionally since my graduation from The School of Visual Arts.

I am currently a part of the team at Love & War creating culturally relevant design for a variety of clients. Before that, I collaborated with an interior design firm called ICRAVE to develop brand identities for hotels, restaurants, and nightclubs.

Prior to joining ICRAVE I have spent time in the design departments of noted publishing giants Farrar, Straus and Giroux and Penguin Random House. I have freelanced for award-winning advertising and design firms McCann, Mother, and Anomaly.

From 2015 - 2019, I designed a highly acclaimed literary magazine called American Chordata alongside New York Magazine’s staff photographer Bobby Doherty. The magazine has been called “Brilliantly designed” by It’s Nice That and Easily the best (and best looking) new literary mag on the stand.” by the AIGA.

I now work remotely from the Catskills with my wife and two cats.
