Featured · 01–06
A Part of Reconnection
Omni's pandemic-recovery campaign — a modular "Stay A Part Of" message that broke through the sea of sameness across paid, owned, earned, and on-property.
Every Superhero Needs a Sidekick
An experiential ALA trade-show campaign built on superhero archetypes — turning a limited booth budget into qualified, ownable relationships.
Celebrating Holiday Spirits
Holiday cookies reinvented as craft cocktails — an editorial-quality Omni Originals program that earned national press.
Where There's Smoke
A smoke-and-fire culinary identity in red leather, gold, and whisper-thin smoke — built to earn press for Omni's fall menu.
Shaking Things Up Online
An AI-enhanced Magic 8-Ball holiday experience that broke a decade-old habit — playful, and measurable.More Work
Additional Projects · 07–12Harnessing the Beauty of Ugly
As agency of record, my team produced exceptional work all year — so I pitched and created an end-of-year sizzle reel of the best creative. 103 projects, 422 deliverables, 4,838 creative hours — timed to the client's massive convention.
The Same, But Different
One of Northeast Florida's fastest-growing companies didn't need a website — it needed hundreds. A CMS design system kept every office personalized while protecting brand integrity; online leads more than doubled within 30 days of launch.
Hill Country, Amplified
Brand identity and integrated campaign for Omni Barton Creek's summer concert series — edgy rock guitar against soft Hill Country foliage, one visual voice across print, digital OOH, social, signage, and tickets.
The Season, in Five Languages
The printed holiday card reimagined as a digital short film — the magic of holidays past, present, and future through a child's eyes, closing in the five most common languages among Omni associates.
Why Choose Just One?
For the Omni Originals F&B series, Minis invited guests to indulge a tasting menu of petite portions of chefs' signature recipes from across the country — posters, menus, a social recipe video, and art-directed photography.
A Logo That Eats the Competition
For the NFL Jaguars' season tickets, the brief was energy and aggression. The solution: use the logo to literally devour the competition. The Jaguars finished the 2005 season 12–5.
About
Brand · Design · Storytelling
Over 20+ years I've directed brand identity and creative for large consumer brands: a $2B hospitality portfolio at Omni Hotels & Resorts, national campaigns at Imaginuity, and the full agency rebrand at Reputation Ink. I move fluidly between setting creative direction and doing the work myself, and I treat design as a strategic business driver rather than a downstream service — translating business objectives into brand expression that performs.
I'm known for strategic storytelling, audience-first thinking, and building scalable creative operations that let a team move faster without losing craft. My work has earned ADDYs — including Best of Corporate Creative three years running and a brand's first gold and silver — plus an HSMAI Adrian Award, alongside measurable results for the businesses behind the brands.
Based in Dallas. Fluent in AI-enabled creative workflows, applied across concepting, production, and creative operations.
