Beauty creative direction
at the global scale.
I'm a New York-based Creative Director and Art Director specializing in beauty, skincare, and personal care — from global flagship campaigns to brand-defining digital content. My work lives at the intersection of strategic thinking and craft: I build the creative vision and stay hands-on through every stage of execution.
Most recently, I served as Director of Global Creative Design at Estée Lauder Companies, leading the global creative for the Estée Lauder skincare portfolio. Before that, I spent years at top agencies driving award-winning integrated campaigns for L'Oréal Paris, Pantene, COVERGIRL, Olay, and a roster of leading beauty brands — work recognized by Cannes Lions, D&AD, Clio, One Show, and Effie, among others.
I lead full creative development: concept through completion — briefing, concepting, overseeing photography and video production, guiding post-production, and shaping how creative translates across channels from global retail to social. I'm equally fluent directing high-profile celebrity talent shoots and building nimble, resourceful content at scale.
I bring a rare combination of global brand experience, multicultural fluency (English/Japanese), and deep category knowledge in prestige and mass-market beauty. I build teams, mentor creatives, and partner closely with marketing, strategy, and brand leadership to make sure the work performs as beautifully as it looks.
