A collaboration with ex-CEO Indra Nooyi, I created a new-to-world brand and D2C business in the healthy snacks space. OJAS STUDIO offers 100% clean-label, plant-based snacks. The brand, reflecting a shift from empty calories to real food, went from paper to production in just 11 months.

I helped Chase modernize a suite of credit cards to tell an authentic story. That means elevating one of the only physical products people touch and feel from Chase – their credit cards. I built a clear and repeatable design system that delivers the Chase masterbrand and sub-brand relationships.

OXO TOT needed help entering the toilet training category. We addressed parents' challenges through research, creating portable, easy-to-use, kid-approved products. Kid-testers, initially hesitant, were won over with silly faces and potty language, informing our designs for a multi-year roll out.

I believe in Neol

A member of the Neol Creative Leaders community

I believe the future of design work is in freelancing, offering big agency quality, fast turnaround, and transparent pricing. There's a saying, 'You can have it fast, good, or cheap: pick two.' I challenge this norm by offering all three. This approach fosters personal relationships and provides an executive-level sounding board for broad creative challenges, ensuring clients receive smart, tailored advice exactly when they need it.
