CEO + FREELANCE: CREATIVE DIRECTOR | DESIGNER | ILLUSTRATOR
bio
I'm a freelance Illustrator, Creative Director and Designer with nearly two decades of experience. I started in the early 2000s building global brand campaigns for brands like Motorola, Delta Airlines and American Express. Then I lost my mind and made grilled cheese sandwiches talk (Kraft Singles), while indulging in chocolate (Dove Chocolate, Twix) until I needed a healthy frozen dinner (Healthy Choice). By the 2010s, I found myself leading the ritzy life (Ritz Crackers). I've worked on everything from Miller Lite and Dos Equis to SAP and AIG to Hunt’s Tomatoes and Kraft Singles to Garnier and The Gap.
I'm a sucker for new briefs with new brands and older brands who need a refresh. So much that I started my own brand called The MoMeMans® to keep busy between gigs. The MoMeMans prove your best parts are your fantastically different parts and using them to help each other makes you super smart. I create stories, videos, music and products for creative little kids and grown-up kids. Check it out at themomemans.com and follow the adventure on Instagram @themomemans
I have lived in New York City since 2000 and can tailor-fit a touristy itinerary for visitors. I speak Spanish, Italian and French—in food. I'm also a mom, so I'm a good manager.
Hire me for all your illustration needs, brand advertising needs and when you need your stuff to look all design-y and well-balanced.
