About Me
I am a Creative Director and Designer with work experience that spans B2B agencies and mid-sized companies. My work is driven by a desire to create engaging creative solutions with sound business strategy that supports the brand and compels a response.
Though comfortable leading a team toward a shared vision, I’m always
ready to develop ideas from concept to final production, hone a
presentation, or initiate fresh thinking into a brainstorm session. My goal is to elevate the team and the work so that both shine with excellence.
My work with Cooksey has ranged from creating award-winning public
awareness campaigns for cities or public entities to developing a new brand identity for a capital management company. The common thread for every project has been finding the right strategy to tell a compelling visual story.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughters, playing tennis, and reading.
