Currently I'm Creative Director for Capital One, overseeing design, brand, and creative strategy. I lead internal and agency creative teams for our B2B partnerships with Wayfair, Walmart, Staples, LL Flooring, Northern Tool, Menards and more.
From 2013–2019 I served as Creative Director for GNC e-commerce retailer, LuckyVitamin, overseeing all brand touch points. I led a team that designed 30+ promotional campaigns monthly, seen by a database of 4 million customers, influencing revenue of more than $20 million annually (combination of onsite and channel marketing). I played a lead role in rebranding the company, redesigning a fully adaptive e-commerce website, and directing all creative to align with company brand standards.
From 2004–2013 I worked for The Hartford. Through 2008, I designed multi-channel marketing campaigns focused on investor education. My work won numerous awards and steadily I advanced to Design Manager in 2008 and Senior Design Consultant from 2009 to 2013. In my senior role I serviced all business lines at The Hartford and worked iteratively to refine the company's brand standards.
I'm also known for my work with the band Reilly, where I served as Founding Partner, Bassist, and Creative Director. Based in Philadelphia, Reilly is a band known for a blend of faith-based lyrics, alt-americana rock and dueling violins. I managed all aspects of Reilly’s visual brand identity, turning this regional band into an internationally recognized group which independently sold over 30,000 albums and regularly toured across the United States, Canada, and Europe.
Outside of full-time work, I have been sought out for dozens of contract assignments. Some notable clients include: Google, Oxford Economics, Harper Collins, Eastern University, Qatar Tourism Authority, Cross Properties, Jalinski Advisory Group and more.
