I’m an executive creative director currently setting design and brand direction for global Amazon brands, including Prime and AWS.
Previously, I independently founded and scaled Hum Creative into a nationally recognized agency specializing in branding, strategy, and web design for companies, national brands, and well-intentioned organizations, including Theo Chocolate, KEXP, and REI.
I’ve been proud to support a number of organizations with in-kind work, donations, and sponsorships, including Forterra, Pratt Fine Arts Center, Town Hall Seattle, KEXP, Planned Parenthood, Girls Who Code, and the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project.
