Full Stack Creative Director

I do a lot and I’d love to show you everything, but I’m undergoing a little maintenance. While I get my site in order, scroll down for a few samples that might help you understand what I’m all about.

Oh, if you’re looking for prints go here

Just a quick peek.

A Slightly Dated Reel

This is a “Thank You” reel from 2018, when I was at the peak of running my second agency. While the content is a little old, I think it is an excellent example of my breadth and approach. You’ll see some quick samples of graphic design, web design, product photography, videography, motion design and editing. Oh, and I made the track as well FWIW.

Logos! Logos! Logos!

Brand development is probably one of my favorite pursuits. Here’s a collection of logos to give you an idea of some projects I’ve done.

Corporate Work (That SaaS Life)

For the past 5+ years, I have been a Creative Director at Salesforce, most recently inside of Ignite, the company’s innovation consulting arm. When I wasn’t acting as a one-man production company, I was leading a team of super-talented visual storytellers to create an arsenal of C-level vision videos and strategic communications. As confidentiality is paramount, I can’t present the complete work, but this link will take you to a gallery of stills from my productions to give you some context.

A Sample of Storytelling

Here’s one in a series of four micro-docs for the research company Dscout. This is a nice example of my filmmaking approach to helping businesses better connect with their customers and partners.

Web Design / Brand Dev

This is a comprehensive example of how I can bring a brand to life. The Parlor is a 20,000+ sf multi-use property in Midtown Manhattan that caters to the beauty and wellness industries. It is an example of brand development, digital signage, on-site photography, and web design (although I think it could use an update)….

AI Experimentation

Although I have some serious mixed feelings about where we’re heading with this technology, I’m really having fun with the possibilities. This is how I’ve been using it personally (a ton more professionally). In this sample, I used black-and-white photos that I took in London and brought them to life using Luma AI. Oh, and I also made the music

Sample Music Video

I haven’t done a ton of music videos, maybe 4 or 5? But there’s a reason I love this one so much…We can go over the details in person, but the short version is it was shot during the pandemic when I lived in Brooklyn, which in itself was wild…but we did the whole thing in 2 days and with zero budget. Anyway, check it on vimeo. I also have some excellent, timeless stills.

Brand Dev / Side Hustle

I should probably include my coffee shop in this example because it’s still open and crushing, but this project has had such a profound impact on life that I feel I should share this instead.

RIP to our “Baby Bouti” who didn’t survive the pandemic, but lives eternally in our hearts.

A Passion Project

When I sold my first company in 2011, I worked for the acquiring company as their creative director for two years. I found the work to be pretty uninspiring and was looking for a creative outlet…The result: Glassbackwards…. a simple cocktail video series that ended up getting quite a bit of love from Savuer, Maxim, and the Webbys. It was really fun (and expensive).

Just a few examples of notable engagements

A brief bio

Best described as a “full-stack creative,” I find myself involved (and enthralled) with every aspect of design—visual, strategic, or experiential. My passion hovers around brand development, storytelling, and providing businesses with the tools to better connect with their customers. 



My design career is quite storied, and my residences in Chicago, New York, Cambodia, and London have not only afforded me the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse client set but have given me a global perspective that resonates across industries. 

For the majority of my career, I have owned and operated my own design agencies, aside from the past 5 years when I worked at Salesforce, leading a visual storytelling team for their Innovation Consulting arm. 



When I’m not working, I’m taking photos, making music, traveling the world or pursuing entrepreneurial ventures.

I’m currently taking on projects and career opportunities that align with my quest to be surrounded by innovative, creative, and collaborative people in an environment where we can see the direct impact of our collective contributions in a meaningful way.
