Short Bio

I am a highly dynamic creative professional with a strong eye for style and high-concept. Transitioning from a renowned graffiti artist to a successful Creative Director, I have over 19 years of creative experience. I have spearheaded design projects for over 400 artists, 3 top rated TV series and a fast growing restaurant chain in the last decade. My ability to build strong relationships and work directly with entertainers and managers is a key factor in my success. I have had the distinct pleasure of having creative experiences that spans multiple industries: Automotive/Motorcycle, Fashion/Apparel, Music/Entertainment, Food/Beverage and Action Sports.

My introduction into creative and art/design was initially noticed by UCLA, when I was commissioned to paint an on-campus mural and further asked to be a guest speaker on the arts. Soon after that great exposure, my extensive and deep professional artist career bloomed. I have worked on a wide range of projects while simultaneously launching a luxury fashion and jewelry line at King Baby Studio. These projects included overseeing and leading efforts in global branding and creative for Von Dutch Originals, Harley-Davidson, Sailor Jerry, Fender Guitars, Obey, and Hart & Huntington. I later moved onward to Trunk, LTD as a Senior Designer.

While at Trunk, LTD, I specialized in vintage art styles creating trend-setting, chic designs and curated the Harley-Davidson line. Additionally I designed exclusive edition projects including a John Varvatos collaboration for VH1 Rock Honors. Upon completion, I served as Art Director at Live Nation Entertainment where I designed and directed projects for: KISS, Led Zeppelin, Madonna, Ozzy Osbourne, Aerosmith, The Beatles, Lenny Kravitz, Slash, Chris Rock, Black Eyed Peas, Motley Crue, Sex Pistols, The Who, Ringo Starr, AC/DC, and Kim Kardashian.

Most recently, I held the Executive Director of Creative Services role at Epic Rights; a start up boutique for music branding and management services with some clients such as Sting, Earth, Wind and Fire, Sammy Hagar, ZZ-Top, Night Ranger, Poison, Eric B. & Rakim, KISS, AC/DC, John Fogerty, Rock & Brews Restaurants and George Lopez’s Chingon Kitchen. Furthermore, I was responsible for creating key assets for AMC’s The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, FX Networks’ Sons of Anarchy and The Arena Football League team LA KISS
