Possessed to create simplicity.
Hi, I’m Robert. Let’s go with Rob, though.
I’m a Boston-based Designer and Creative Director with 15+ years of international industry experience. I thrive in player-coach roles—leading by doing and helping teams achieve their best work. I’m a fervent champion of collaboration, curiosity, and creating art that works real hard to feel real easy.
Design is as necessary as it is omnipresent, and I am most passionate about bringing my skillset to brands that dream big about lifting up our world’s cultures, communities, and natural environments. Let’s make something awesome together.
