It might have all started when I was 5yrs old and my father told me that inside our glowing digital clock lived a little guy whose only job was to turn the numbers promptly and keep track of the time for us. His name was Philipito. And he never slept.
Since learning how to tell and respect the importance of time and hard work, it seems like I’ve always had a passion for silly scenarios and unexpected story telling. Creating worlds that aren't real is a lot of fun, but getting others to believe in them, that's magic. I’ve devoted my career to the pursuit of all things creative and have worked for a broad mix of clients including; AOL, AT&T, BMW, Landrover, MTV, Sony, UMDNJ, UL, Univision Inc. and Visa.
I've recently worked on some amazing experiential collaborations with agencies like BMF, NY & GMR, CA. I’m also proud to be a Lecturer of Graphic Design and Interactive Advertising for MGC, RBSD at Kean University. I’ve served as a guest speaker at the “Thinking Creatively” conferences and am also a former president of the Art Directors Club of NJ.
I do keep busy, but unlike Philipito, I actually get to sleep. A little.
