CREATIVE
EXECUTIVE.

I lead multidisciplinary teams turning brand strategy into product, packaging, campaigns, retail, motion and experiences that have to perform in the real world — at shelf, in market and at scale.

01 / Beverage + CPG

ONE PLATFORM.
THREE FORMATS.

A beverage portfolio built to expand without losing the brand. The platform moved from seltzers to the 100MG Elixir, then into sodas — three distinct formats connected by one recognizable visual language.

Portfolio Architecture

One portfolio across seltzers, concentrated elixir and soda — with format, potency and flavor cues strong enough to work at shelf and in motion.

Commercial Read

The work behaves like real CPG: legible from distance, flavor-forward, easy to navigate, and built for portfolio expansion.

02 / Edibles

RANGE WITHOUT
LOSING THE BRAND.

A 15-SKU core assortment organized into five distinct families — Original, Sour, Tropical, Sleep and Lemonade — plus the higher-potency Super Star line. The challenge was breadth without visual drift.

Architecture

Family-level differentiation makes a large assortment easier to navigate without fragmenting the master brand.

Flavor

Each package earns its own world while sharing a consistent hierarchy and silhouette.

Extension

Super Star turns the edible into a hero object and creates a more expressive campaign language.

03 / Regulated CPG + Retail

BUILT FOR
THE SHELF.

Brand and packaging architecture for regulated retail, spanning cigar leaf wraps, cones and Fronto whole leaf. The work balances compliance, flavor differentiation, shelf visibility and repeatability across specialty, convenience and beverage-adjacent channels.

Career experience extends beyond dispensary into smoke, convenience and beverage retail — including 7-Eleven, Circle K and BevMo.

Shelf Clarity

Clear flavor coding and hierarchy make a regulated assortment easy to scan, easy to merchandise and easy to extend.

Regulated Category Fluency

Creative decisions account for warnings, compliance space, retail visibility and product architecture from the start.

04 / Premium Cannabis

PREMIUM PRODUCT.
FULL ROLLOUT.

Exotics was approached as a premium rollout, not a packaging exercise. Each strain was given a distinct point of view, then carried through launch film, flower, campaign creative and prerolls — strategy and execution working as one system.

MAKE THE MEDIA
IMPOSSIBLE
TO IGNORE.

Outdoor built to make a restricted category feel unavoidable at city scale — from an aerial banner over Los Angeles and Orange County to a produced billboard designed to own the category at a glance.

FLYING BY TO SAY HIGH.

A 40 × 80 aerial banner turned the sky over Los Angeles and Orange County into the media buy.

OWN THE CATEGORY.

A bold claim, a singular gesture and a board designed to read instantly at speed.

06 / Creative Strategy + Leadership

SET THE DIRECTION.
STAY CLOSE TO THE WORK.

I operate on both sides of the creative equation: shaping the strategy before the work begins and staying close enough to execution to make sure the idea lands. The goal is not to be the loudest person in the room. It is to create clarity, set a high bar and give talented people the room to do the best work of their careers.

Creative ExecutiveCreative Strategy25+ Creative Organization8 FunctionsBrandExecution
01

Start with the why.

Turn business goals, audience insight and cultural context into a creative strategy people can actually build from.

02

Make the idea clear.

Give teams a sharp point of view, the right guardrails and a standard that connects strategy to every customer touchpoint.

03

Let your superstars be superstars.

Great people do their best work when they have trust, ownership and room to bring something to the table. My job is to recognize talent, remove noise and make the team better together.

04

Stay in the work.

I can move from executive strategy to creative review, set, edit, launch and final execution without losing the thread. Strategy matters because it survives contact with the real world.
