Hello!

I’m an award-winning designer and creative leader who blends strategy, heart, and hands-on craft. My work is built to break through the noise—impactful, customer-focused, and grounded in smart execution.

I’ve led creative teams across agencies, law firms, and in-house brands, always building collaborative, high-performing environments. My background spans healthcare, finance, tech, government, and corporate law, with a focus on tying brand to business results.

From digital to print to video, I help turn complex challenges into clear, compelling creative. What you’ll see in my portfolio reflects deep listening, strong instincts, and care for both the work and the people behind it.

Outside of work, I’m often baking, reading memoirs, or exploring the outdoors with a dog by my side. I’ve also spent 15+ years advocating for foster youth.

Cheers,
Guy
