I am interested in expressing observational interpretations around socioeconomic issues, distortions of reality and perceived normality. Through multidisciplinary communication I aim to integrate an offline
ethos as a core theme within my practice. Using a variety of mediums
and techniques, I explore these themes as a catalyst to connect with
people through stories, conversations and emotional exchange.

Before stepping away from commercial work in 2014, I worked within various creative industries from music, advertising, surf, skate and fashion to non profit and boutique design studios in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Hawaii, France, Spain, Portugal and Holland. My creative focus listed in art direction and design - managing global design teams, developing creative direction and strategy as well as writing original scores, mixing and engineering for commercial, documentary, film, bands and producers.
Currently I am operating out of Alaró, Mallorca as a visual artist, music producer and freelance designer. In tandem running an independent record label SFR Records + Distribution + Sound System. I collaborate with various public and private establishments / institutions on audio /visual art exhibitions, gallery installations, event production, music curation, live performance, branding, identity and creative direction projects.
Approach
When working along side a team or independently on audio / visual projects, I keep a firm focus on strategy, organization and time line process. Understanding the client needs and streamlining the deliverables process with clear communication is my priority when developing any creative concept. Working closely with account directors, strategists, project managers, producers and any other integral team members plays an important role in the success of any project.
