Portrait

Concept to campaign, and every frame in between.

I'm an art director at TrendyMinds in Indianapolis. I take campaigns from the first idea to the finished thing: concept, storyboard, client presentation and production. Most of my work is for Cummins, across print, digital, video, trade booths and live events.

Before agency life, I studied theatre and design at Columbia College Chicago and ran a photography business for nine years. Both still shape how I work. I think about how an idea gets staged, lit and shot, not just how it's laid out.
