How I got here
Eighteen years,
one throughline.
From hands-on designer to creative leader — the roles that shaped how I think about brand, teams, and systems.

What I'm looking for
I'm most interested in senior creative, brand, digital, or creative operations roles where I can do more than manage production — I want to help shape the direction of a brand, build strong teams, improve the way creative operates, and connect creative work to meaningful business outcomes.
The short version
“I'm a designer who became a creative leader. I know how to make the work, lead the people, and build the systems around it. My sweet spot is where brand, creativity, technology, and business come together.”Eddie Imparato
