WELCOME to my LEADERSHIP ZONE
🏆 Recognized as a “Good Vibes Guru” 🏆
Reflecting the collaborative and uplifting spirit I bring to my work (and maybe a solid pun or two).
“The soil of our mind contains many seeds, positive and negative.
We are the gardeners who identify, water, and cultivate the best seeds.”

BELIEFS
Creativity thrives with purpose : Great ideas aren’t just beautiful; they’re meaningful, impactful, and aligned with intention.
People before pixels : When teams feel seen and safe, creativity flows. I build spaces that empower people to show up fully.
Mind the details : Whether it’s crafting a portfolio piece, a presentation deck, or nailing a final render, excellence sprouts from the little things.
PRIORITIES
Vision & Strategy : Balancing artistic integrity with business goals to deliver work that inspires, performs, and makes teams proud.
Team Growth : Mentorship is where I thrive. I guide others though challenges to grow, stretch, and shine on their own terms.
Creative Integrity : No templates. Just care, originality, and intention; ensuring that everything is built with heart.
STYLE
Hands-On Meets High-Level : I move fluidly between leading and doing; always mindful of where the team needs energy most.
Mentorship with Intent : I don’t just teach skills; I help others connect the dots, think strategically, and find meaning in the work they do.
Collaboration as the Core : I believe the best work happens when trust, openness, and diverse ideas come together.
WHY IT WORKS
My leadership combines creative artistry with strategic calm. It’s about finding the sweet spot between delivering impact and creating space for people to feel supported, heard, and challenged in the right ways. Whether with clients, collaborators, or the team, I build steady momentum by connecting vision with action.
And let’s face it, even the tightest deadlines benefit from minds at ease - because great ideas flow when people feel inspired and have space to do their best work.
A few kind words shared with me over the years, publicly or privately. Used with appreciation and care.
Leadership isn’t defined by a single role, it’s the sum of past experiences. As a Director, a Creative & Art Director, and a Creative, each role has shaped my ability to guide teams, drive creative direction, and shape impactful work.
LALALAND
All leadership work from 2022–2025 is under NDA’s, making LALALAND’S FAREWELL REEL (2011-2016)
a rare and open glimpse into my hands-on creative direction, team leadership and storytelling style.
Music: The Kills - Getting Down (All rights for this track go to their respective owners)
Lalaland was a design-driven animation studio that I founded back in the day; it was a creative playground where I honed my leadership, strategic thinking, and team-building skills. Though its journey came to a close, it laid the groundwork for the leadership mindset I continue to evolve and refine today.
SUPERSIDE
While my leadership role spans multiple projects and responsibilities under NDA, SUPERSIDE'S REEL (2025) gives a glance into the caliber of Motion & 3D projects I’ve helped shape, and the kind of work the teams I lead bring to life.
