I’m currently serving as the Executive Creative Director at Stink Studios Americas, working closely with their sister company Stink Films. We are a creative studio that makes content & commercials, brand identities & re-designs, and digital experiences.
Beginning in 2012, I spent 3 years in advertising learning from some of the greatest creative mentors in the industry. As an Art Director at DDB New York and a Creative Director at Grey New York, I was recognized at most major award shows such as Cannes (including a Grand Prix), D&AD, One Show, The Clios, London International, Type Directors Club, Mercury Radio, and Young Guns International.
In 2015 I decided to leave advertising to start my own company with a childhood friend of mine, and we were selected to join the competitive startup incubator Techstars in New York. That year I co-founded the lifestyle brand called Stefan’s Head — a text-message retail shop. In 2018 I co-founded the brand BABOON TO THE MOON — a colorful bag company. We sold B2TM in August 2023.
B2TM became a multi-million dollar company and was featured in-store at places like Selfridges (UK), MoMA Design Store, Nordstroms, Saks Fifth Avenue, Urban Outfitters and more. The brand became most popular amongst 18-28 year olds, and gained 200K+ followers on Instagram and 70K followers on TikTok in 5 years. B2TM was known for collaborating and created dozens of brand and artist partnerships, and was quired by The Hedgehog Company.
