“Live for yourself and what you stand for, not for the approval or even the attention of others”
(H.J Kim)


Just a guy from West Philly looking to make a difference.

An active Art Director based in PHL/LA & NYC, with an interest in fashion & music. 

Looking to create timeless art. I am giving myself a 10 year timestamp but I would love to design a sneaker or work on a collab with a sneaker company. I will probably dabble into music production, film & culinary arts soon. 



Experience

Art Director at STILL HUMAN (2022-Present)
Still Human is a cool ass agency I created with my close friend Rahsaam Ray, as a platform to host our freelance and contract work. Clients include Combs Global, Music Breakr, United Masters, & more.

Digital Marketing at Semrush (2021-Present)
Semrush is just my silly 9-5 :( until I get an Art Director gig.... but I have done some cool Digital Marketing & SEO campaigns for brands like Spotify, Verizon, Peleton and more. 

Art Director at Front Office Sports (Aug 2022-October 2022)
Front Office Sports (FOS) wanted to bring a CD/AD/ and Lead Designer on contract and I covered all of those roles at the time lol. I had the chance to create ome cool sports newsletters but I also had the chance to create some cool with for TOM BRADY


Creative Marketing Intern at Livenation Entertainment (2021-2022)
Livenation gave me my first opportunity as a creative, I was able to create alot of their social media and experiential concert assets while I was there. And I had a chance to see a ton of concerts for free.
