As a senior graphic designer and illustrator with over 20 years in the wine industry, I’ve dedicated my career to creating visually captivating wine brands. I've worked with renowned vineyards and emerging wineries, bringing their stories to life through innovative designs. Specializing in wine labels, I believe in the power of storytelling, translating each wine's unique narrative into compelling visual identities, ensuring each project resonates with its audience and stands out in the market.
I have a passion for industrial design and take inspiration from the works of Dieter Rams, with a keen interest in horology and automotive design. I also challenge myself to learn and participate in these endeavors.
Outside the studio, I greatly enjoy cooking for my family, who are willing participants but also my truest critics. I am a dedicated Tifosi (Formula-1 Ferrari fan) and follow each round of racing closely as the F1 circus zips around the globe. I reside in the vibrant neighborhood of Piedmont Ave, surrounded by the quirkiness that makes Oakland unique, ready to collaborate and bring my perspective to the next project.
