I’m Kyle, a creative director and design leader with a penchant for brand building at early stage companies.

What you won’t see in my portfolio is what I’m most proud of — I founded a nonprofit performance art company, I created a Burmese restaurant pop-up and I’m working on more, I'm an awarding-winning teacher, I released a local publication centered around intersectional storytelling from lesser known communities.

When I’m not working, I'm a dedicated husband to a certified boss babe, a short order chef for two hungry boys, a French bulldog advocate/owner/lover, and an aspiring surfer and spear fisher.
