About, hand-lettered

Brands call me when they need to be noticed. I turn product benefits into ideas people share, read where beauty and fashion are heading next, and build the brand world that carries it from a phone screen to a store window.

I came up through punk, pop art and the fashion press: Adbusters in Vancouver, then New York, where a T-shirt I screen-printed in 2008, SAVE ANNA, went around the world and turned into a label. Since then I have led creative for M·A·C Cosmetics, Maybelline and Kenneth Cole, and designed the brand program marks for Old Navy. Typography, hand lettering, collage and illustration are how I think. Style guides and systems are how the idea survives the rollout.
