Award-Winning
Creative Director & Visual Artist

with a passion for branded content and the
perfect cocktail. 🍸

After 15 years of hands-on leadership I know exactly,
more or less, ;-) how to bring those big ideas to life.
I’ve worked on everything from OOH city-wide
installations to social media ads. From 360 brand
campaigns to live immersive tech experiences.

Forever psyched because I LOVE getting to
make cool stuff!

Currently, I’m the Executive Creative Director at
Vaylian Studios, an innovative boutique agency
which brings emotional connection to stories and
art while pushing the envelope of digital media.

Since 2016 I’ve been focused on expanding our
body of work to include full spectrum campaigns
– encompassing event installation, large and small
scale print, interactive media, and emerging tech
(AR/VR/MR). All while maintaining roots in
commercial, social, web and iterative advertising.

 
 

Recent Campaigns

Here are some campaigns I’ve worked on in
commercial, digital, enterprise and exhibition.

 

 
 

A Bit More About Me

CD_Damien_2.jpg

My background
is in video production + post-production.
I am a huge fan of film, photography, music
videos, and digital art.

Lately, I am obsessed with architectural design
(as I’m in the midsts of a full gut renovation). 🏠

I started out in television: shooting commercials,
show opens and promos. Over the last several
years I’ve become proficient in new media,
fusing my background and passions into brand
awareness + disruptive marketing. Plus anything
else I think is fun. I’m an accomplished
motion artist and VFX specialist with expert
knowledge in After Effects, Cinema 4D,
Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere and Unity 3D.

An unapologetic foodie. I love my job, animals,
my incredibly awesome wife, and our new kid
Aiden. 🧸

 
 

As far as that perfect cocktail...

I almost always go for the Negroni.
This is my absolute favorite incarnation:
 

  • 1 oz Monkey 47 Schwarzwald
  • 1 oz Cask aged Campari Aperitivo
  • .5 oz Carpano Antica
  • .5 oz Massican
  • 3 dashes Black Walnut Bitters

  •  
    Shaken, clear cubes and MUST
    flame the orange peel.🍊
    Served in some fancy crystal glass.
    Enjoy!
