Here is where I tell you what I do and why.I’m Head of Art & Design at McKinney, where I’m lucky enough to work across all of our brand partners. I oversee any number of visual aspects of a brand’s communications, and make sure that people are experiencing our creative idea in a consistent and visually provoking way.My background is as an art director and designer, having worked for several years at some great agencies in San Francisco. I have always been conceptually driven, making sure first that an idea is as good as it can be, then executed beautifully. The craft of art direction is something that I’m inspired to do, and every project is an opportunity to make something unique. I have worked on great brands with strong visual identities such as Mini Cooper, Converse, Travelocity, Little Caesars, ESPN, Samsung, and Pampers.At McKinney, I enjoy a great range of projects. Anything from developing a brand’s look and feel from scratch, shooting video, designing packaging, making some type of weird experiential thingy, or crafting a single Instagram post.In creating the look for brand campaigns, my goal is to make sure that everything looks great and works together. That the type is perfect, the colors are right, images are styled, and that things are combined to the best effect — consistent in the details so that a brand’s messaging is distinctive and clear. If people can see it, it needs to look great and make sense.Beyond art direction and fretting about letter spacing, my passions are family and music. As a lifelong drummer, I love to record and play in improvised groups, making things up on the spot. I’m interested in the similarities between visual and musical creativity — the act of making something out of nothing and trying to give it a vibe. OK, now we’re just getting ethereal. Back to work.TLDR: Let’s make it look good.
