Bio
An Art Director, and a self-important designer, living in Austin, TX that likes to scam people into endorsing me for wearing black pants on LinkedIn.
Philosophy
I like to break things, I like to keep things simple, and I like to be proactive as much as possible. I love exploring ideas that live in and outside of advertising. There are ways to expand a brands business or presence outside of campaigns, and we should strive to supply those as creatives.

Art Director
T3
Aug 2019 - Apr 2020 • 8 months
Austin / United States
Created new brand guidelines for overall brand look and tone that screamed WELCOME TO MOE’s. Managed production of sweet and savory social
assets in the T3 Studio, while consulting our brand’s in-house creative partners on their productions of in store and social assets. Worked with various
creative teams and the T3 Labs team to explore pitch opportunities with new and existing clients - including using emerging tech to impress the hard to impress HBO thinkers. Helped facilitate an expansion of DrafT3 to include Texas State Advertising students so they could join their Comm Des counterparts.

Art Director
Dieste
Jun 2015 - Jul 2019 • about 4 years

Self motivated Art Director with dependable attention to detail that taught toddlers it was ok to throw their parents phone at the ground. Effective internal
and client presentation skills. Developed social visual guidelines, oversaw multiple productions, and continuously helped to develop award winning proactive ideas - all while adding skin to chicken. Incorporated into the go-to team for client test projects and helped win pitches of various scale, including projects that theorized Siri could tell if you were sick by just listening to you speak (which is totally not creepy).
Clients: AT&T, AT&T UVerse, DirecTV, HBO, Pollo Campero, PetSmart, OtterBox, Cricket Wireless, Boys Scouts of America, TX Whiskey

Was brought on board to help out a social team which curated content for Toaster Strudel. Made GIFs and memes for the ever-popular Toaster Strudel Tumblr. As time progressed, Toaster Strudel became more and more self-aware to the point of taking creative control. Developed into this role from an internship despite of Toaster Strudel gaining sentience, that’s just icing on top. Clients: Toaster Strudel, Western Union, Old El Paso
