“It’s through mistakes that you actually can grow. You have to get bad in order to get good.”
These words from design icon Paula Scher couldn't be more true to my journey. If there’s anything I’ve learned, no single project or job is perfect, and there’s always so much more to learn. It’s what you take away from that, and how you use it to grow, that matters.
Back in 2007, I moved from a small, conservative town in the weeds of St. Mary’s County, Maryland, to the big city of Philadelphia, where I studied Graphic Design at a historic institution in a city known for arts and culture. Since then, I’ve been living in the city, finding my place and learning how to thrive somewhere that always keeps me on my toes.
I got my start as a designer at Intersection—working with clients who taught me invaluable lessons, put my creativity to the test, and helped me master the art of OOH advertising. From there, I moved into a unique design and communications role at the University of Pennsylvania, where I managed a massive brand revitalization project for the Undergraduate Admissions office and learned how to understand a new generation of prospective students and families. It taught me how to work cross-functionally within a complex institution, push creative boundaries within the world of higher education, and learn how to tell stories and create new experiences that left an impact.
In 2019, my journey took me to Comcast, where I joined the Sales Enablement team supporting frontline sales teams for Xfinity. I immersed myself into a new digital world of user experience, learned how to improve digital experiences and complex user journeys, and ultimately make their jobs easier. In 2022, I joined the Xfinity Brand Marketing team to challenge myself and better understand the world of integrated marketing. I had the privilege of working on large-scale campaigns that helped drive the core broadband acquisition business, co-branded symphony moments with NBCUniversal supporting films like Wicked and The Odyssey, and even a Super Bowl campaign.
Today, I’m open to my next opportunity, where I can use my talents and experience to build something better. Here are a few things I want you to know about me and how I work.
I lead with empathy and am a natural creative thinker.
Strategically partnering with key teams to execute thoughtful and beautiful design solutions, while challenging myself and my team to push boundaries and meet the needs of any audience or channel.
I believe in creating functional, high-quality experiences.
Fusing foundational design principles with meaningful content, all supported by research that both informs and excites an audience.
I encourage myself and others to learn from feedback.
Turning it into teachable moments that better shape us as designers, marketers, and creatives alike, and prepare us for what’s next.
I thrive in a diverse environment that challenges me.
Contributing to positive change that helps brands evolve, drive growth, and inspire others is what motivates me.
So that’s professional me. Here’s a little fun me.
I’m what you’d consider “obsessed” with my three cats - proud father of a tabby, bengal, and Savannah trio, who are mischievous and adorable at the same time.
I am a self-proclaimed pop music aficionado and enjoy music with Euro-pop and dance influences. My top 3? Don’t ask me to pick. But do ask me about the time when Britney Spears gave me a handwritten letter and invitation to Vegas.
I grew up in a rural town with a population of about 1,500. It’s one of the only locations outside Pennsylvania with an Amish presence.
