Core Proficiencies

I’m a creative director with over a decade of experience, currently leading design for Newmark’s national Seniors Housing team and directing a remote creative team. I specialize in capital markets and alternative investments, creating presentations, marketing materials, and visual systems that turn complex, high-value deals into clear, credible, and compelling stories.

Over the years, I’ve built design systems and standards that help large teams work more consistently, mentored designers toward stronger work, and improved the way creative teams operate. I’ve also stayed hands-on with the craft throughout my career. I care about the strategy, the big idea, and, yes, the kerning.

I’m also half of Ulmer & Kashoid, a songwriting and production duo creating original music for film, television, musical theater, and brands. It’s a different medium, but the approach is much the same: understand the story, find the right idea, and make it land.

Outside of design and music, I’m usually training for a triathlon or cooking something more ambitious than I probably need to. I like figuring out how things work, breaking complicated problems into manageable pieces, and making the result better than where I started.
