IN HIS OWN WORDS

“Growing up I would watch 60 Minutes every Sunday with my parents and I dreamed of being an intrepid reporter – covering stories around the globe and topics close to home. However, once I began studying at Parsons School of Design I realized that the world of creative entrepreneurship – brand building – was my calling. I became obsessed with brand strategy – the convergence of engaging narratives with purposeful design. At the age of 22 I started my own design studio called meet the edge to lead marketing practices that meet the moment. I translated a dream into an idea that is now a reality. Now it’s time to pay it forward and share what I have learned so others can take the road less traveled.”
