About
Howdy!
I’m a Creative Director with 15+ years of experience designing websites, multimedia content, and brand identities. My journey began at The Vineyard Church, where I cultivated my passion for video and media. From there, I built my career through freelance work, and roles at Priatek, Pulsar Measurement, and McKinsey, delivering high-impact visual content across a wide range of industries.
My design journey
From humble beginnings at a mega-church, designing for campaigns and video shoots, to leading creative efforts for global brands, my career in design has always been about blending creativity with strategy. Whether developing websites, creating brand guidelines, or designing motion graphics, I bring a holistic approach to every project.
My creative philosophy
Design is about more than just aesthetics; it’s about communication. I believe in creating designs that are both beautiful and functional, serving a clear purpose and resonating with diverse audiences. My work is deeply rooted in accessibility, inclusivity, and visual storytelling.

Communication Specialist
"Adam is one of the most creative people I have had the pleasure of working with. Ask for a graphic and he returns a masterpiece. His talent is amazing. He delivers quickly and doesn't need to be asked twice. His energy and creativity are part of his work ethic and his office demeanor as well. He is incredibly fun to work with. Always singing and entertaining the office in a moral-boosting way. He will be an asset to any company. Take him if you can get him."
Marketing Expert and Fine Jeweler/Gemologist
"I have worked with Adam directly. As a graphic designer myself, I can attest to his ability from the perspective of someone with a deep understanding of the complex programs that Adam works with. Not only is he a highly competent and creative designer, but he was also an absolute pleasure to work with. His smile is infectious to all those around him. He was always willing to lend a hand in areas where I was only just learning; and as a result, my time with Adam has made me a better designer. If you have the opportunity to work with him as well, count yourself lucky!"
