Hire the Best Art Directors in Los Angeles, CA

Graphic Designer, Creative Director, Musician and Illusionist from Los Angeles, California. It might seem peculiar that I get excited thinking about colors, typography, brands, music and magic but my passion for all aspects of graphic design and creativity have remained strong throughout my life and 15+ year career. My background includes corporate, agency and freelance graphic design experience, with a history of leading digital/print projects to acclaimed completion.

I help fashion, beauty, skincare, jewelry, and luxury brands create photorealistic AI imagery and video content that feels premium, believable, and commercially effective. With decades of experience in commercial photography, visual storytelling, and creative direction, I combine an editorial eye with advanced AI production workflows to create visuals that elevate brands, strengthen product presentation, and support marketing performance. Unlike many AI creators, my background is rooted in professional photography and creative direction. Every image is developed with the same considerations used in a commercial photo shoot: lighting, composition, styling, visual hierarchy, brand positioning, and product storytelling. My work goes beyond simple AI image generation. I create complete visual systems that maintain consistency across ecommerce, advertising, social media, and brand campaigns.

I help wellness, lifestyle, and consumer brands create polished, launch-ready brand systems, from visual identity and pitch decks to social design systems that scale. I’m a Creative Director and brand designer with experience across branding, digital, and social, working with both startups and established brands. I partner closely with founders and teams to clarify their story, sharpen their positioning, and present it beautifully. Clients hire me for senior-level thinking, fast and clear communication, and a structured process that turns ideas into focused, effective design, not just something that looks good, but work that supports real business goals. If you’re looking for a design partner who can move quickly, think strategically, and make your brand feel cohesive and credible, I’d love to hear more about your project.

I design brands and the products they live inside. Those are usually two jobs and two people, and doing both is the point. Fifteen years of it, most spent inside companies rather than beside them. A music library of nearly a million tracks. A dog breeder marketplace with its own payments layer. A brokerage built to break the 6% commission, where I was co-founder and Head of Product. A TV-based care platform sold to senior living operators. Album covers, packaging and murals along the way. Two of those companies were acquired. The work underneath is the same every time. Figure out what the company actually is, find the story that makes someone believe it, then build the thing that carries it. Identity, site and product as one argument rather than three deliverables. Screens are a commodity now, generated on demand. Knowing what to say, and when someone is ready to hear it, is not. You are not hiring someone to hand you files. I will tell you why it is not working, then design the fix. New to Upwork, not to the work. ✓ Fifteen years in product design and brand identity ✓ Onboarding, checkout and paywall flows that convert ✓ Full identity systems, from naming through to the shipped site ✓ Straight answers, fast replies, no agency overhead ✓ I will argue with your brief if I think it is wrong ✓ Paul McCartney is the best Beatle and I will not be relitigating this
