I build brands that connect — across national newsrooms, blockchain communities, and everywhere in between.

For 15+ years I've been the designer in the room who works fast, thinks in systems, and brings obsessive craft to every touchpoint. I spent nearly a decade producing 50+ national campaigns for the USA TODAY Network across 100+ markets. Before that I led a design team at North Jersey Media Group, building event brands from the ground up — including Food Truck Mash-Up, which grew from a local NJ event into a multi-state production.

Since 2020 I've been running Burzee Studio, my independent practice, where I've built full visual identity systems, character-driven illustration universes, and brand ecosystems for Web3 clients. I created the 61Apes and Lychee visual systems — designing hundreds of character assets and marketing materials that drove community growth and sold-out launches.

I'm fluent in both worlds. Corporate scale and startup scrappiness. Print precision and digital velocity. Old school craft and new school tools — including AI-assisted workflows using ChatGPT, MidJourney, Firefly, and Gemini.

What I do best:
· Brand identity systems & visual language
· Character design & illustration
· High-volume campaign design
· Art direction across digital, social & print
· Web3 brand strategy & NFT visual systems

Currently open to full-time or long-term contract roles. If you're building something that needs to look as good as it works — let's talk.
