My creative path started in a New Jersey middle school graphic arts room—loud machines, chemical smells, and ink-splattered tables. I was hooked. I got my hands dirty making silk-screened posters and t-shirts, darkroom experiments, and hand-inked prints. It was analog, messy, chaotic and I loved it.

 

Since then, I’ve gone from cabinet-making apprentice to art director and associate creative director, with stops in advertising agencies, print shops, and design studios along the way. That hands-on foundation still shapes everything I do, from typography and photography to animation, editing, storytelling and hand-made craftsmanship.

 

Today, I work at the intersection of craft and concept, building and making things that are smarter, bigger, and more impactful than I ever imagined back in that noisy little classroom. And yes, I’m still having fun, trying to make people feel something when they see my work.

 

I am an Eagle Scout and fluent in Portuguese. I design and build furniture and am the founder of North American Modular. I snowboard, chase live music, and always say yes to a cheeseburger.
