I am a design director that creates experiences that excel in their given discipline; from strategy to concept, concept to execution. Every project is realized with the ambition to make it everything it can be.
I collaborate with a diverse range of clients, from startups to global enterprises, to shape strategic, outcome-driven design initiatives. I’ve led cross-functional teams and guided organizations in building brands, digital products, and immersive brand experiences that captivate and connect with audiences. My work spans partnerships with some of the world’s most respected institutions, including Bank of America, Ford Motor Company, The New York Times, and the University of Chicago.
Adam is the most prolific designer I have ever worked with. He is thoughtful, good natured and a master craftsman at visual storytelling, who can equal parts deliver exactly what you were thinking but at a quality that you could have never envisioned. He is resourceful, reliable and has exceptional taste. Creating with him is as fun as it is productive.

Adam brought the Violet Flame brand to life with his exceptional design vision. From intricate pattern systems to user-centered packaging, his work was both thoughtful and transformative. His ability to riff on ideas and evolve them into something special keeps collaboration forward-moving.
