Big screens. Bold brands.
A painter's eye.

For more than a decade I've lived where media, brands and culture collide — selling Times Square's largest billboards, building art fairs from the ground up during Art Basel and Frieze, and bringing Mercedes-Benz and Lufthansa into rooms full of collectors. I trained as a fine artist. I work like a strategist.

Media & Advertising

Media with a gallery eye.

Four years as VP of Sales at a New York media company, putting brands on Times Square's most prominent billboards — then following the audience home with CTV, OTT, streaming audio, display and paid social.

Brand & Experiential

Brands, in the room.

I live and breathe art fairs. I built SELECT Fair and X Contemporary from the ground up — seven editions during Art Basel Miami Beach and Frieze New York, with $400K+ in sponsor value from brands like Mercedes-Benz AMG, Lufthansa and Moët Hennessy.

Art that belongs to the room.

MFA from the School of Visual Arts, a decade inside the art market, and an eye for work that fits — I source and commission art for private residences, hotels, offices and large-scale developments.

About

The artist who learned to sell.

Tufts, then an MFA at SVA. Co-directing an art fair during Art Basel at 24. Three brands built from the ground up by 2015. Then Times Square's biggest screens. Active problem solving keeps me on my toes — and I still love making things.
