Hi 👋

A little more about me

I’m Mook—a VP Design Director based in New York with a passion for creating purposeful, award-winning work across platforms. I lead design teams and collaborate with brands like Microsoft, Mastercard, Verizon, Prudential, Cadillac, U.S. Soccer, and MGM to craft campaigns that spark connection and drive impact.

I thrive on building ideas that empower people and inspire change. At McCann New York, I’ve helped win major accounts including Prudential, PGIM, Snapdragon, and Ulta Beauty.

My work has earned recognition from top global festivals like Cannes, the Clios, and the London International Awards.

I’m always up for a new creative challenge—and a good cup of coffee. Let’s connect.
