Hey, I’m Rob(ert)

I’m a Boston-based designer, art director, and creative director. My decade-plus career has allowed me to build brand identities, develop web platforms alongside engineers, lead multi-disciplinary creative teams, direct photoshoots, illustrate editorials, produce videos, write campaign copy, and collaborate with clients that range from the independent to the corporate.

Nowadays, I’m an in-house Creative Director at EF Education First in Boston, Massachusetts. It should come as no surprise, but the worlds of education and cultural exchange have provided endless opportunities to draw inspiration from and create.
