I have designed packaging for 20 years and I am really good at it.

The work I have done is exceptional, thoughtful & produces huge financial wins for the companies I work for.

I founded a new practice & ran a satellite studio for top tier ID firm, Ammunition.

Designing structural packaging for household names & startups that have since become ubiquitous.

I was responsible for revenue stream of $3MM, roughly 25% of the total revenue.

I designed a packaging system for Monogram, Jay-Z's cannabis startup, the brand sold for $100MM based on my mockups. No flower had been harvested.

In my second year at Burgopak UK at the age of 24 I opened a studio in Chicago for Burgopak UK, securing a contract from Motorola worth $500k/month .

This new revenue stream amounted to $20MM over the next 4 years.

I went onto found a packaging design practice for Burgopak in Chicago called BurgoUSA, securing a design retainer from Motorola for $200k/month.

BurgoUSA sold to Jansy in 2012 & Jansy eventually sold to Berlin Packaging in 2022 for $1.43 billion.

I am the inventor on 15 package patents including 10 for Apple inc.

I have always been drawn to New York.

The liveliness, diversity & creative culture is second to none. It is where I met my wife, & where my children were born.

In 2014 I decided to return. I gave my notice at Ammunition in SF & was planning the move back east.

You know what they say about the best laid plans?

Ammunition's owners, Robert & Matt had a different idea for me, for which I am forever grateful.

I was given the opportunity to found the first & only Ammunition satellite studio.

Ammunition Brooklyn opened in 2015.

It was a rewarding 9 years, building a remote studio from scratch.

I assembled & led a team of expert designers, doing some the finest work for brands like Ollie, Blue Apron, Beats, Dewalt, Verizon, Volvo & Monogram.

Mock-ups of the above packaging system for Roc Nation & Caliva's cannabis startup, allowed them to sell for $100MM before any product had been harvested.

I joined San Francisco based industrial design firm Ammunition as the founding member of a  packaging design practice.

The initial focus was Beats by Dre.

Transitioning existing products to a new Beats-owned-supply-chain.

The original packaging was designed organically, the new system needed to maintain the look & feel but allow for the rapid deployment of new products.

V3 was designed for Apple after they acquired Beats, with a focus on elegance & sustainability.

Packaging design as a service became part of Ammunition's offering, adding 30% revenue.

I returned to Chicago as Director of the newly formed design studio BurgoUSA.

I built the creative team & led projects for brands such as Gillette, AB InBev, Nike, Motorola, Blackberry, LG & L’Oréal.

My work for Gillette & BeGreen won the   2011 DuPont Diamond award for Excellence in Innovation, Cost/Waste Reduction, & Sustainability.

I worked remotely for Burgopak, focusing on developing new patents, a cosmetics line & child-proof pharmaceutical sliders.

One of the new products was a shopping bag shaped giftcard slider.

It was a perfect fit for Bloomingdales & their iconic brown bags.

I pitched it & they loved it. The little brown card slider sold for over a decade.

As a graduate, I joined Burgopak, I soon became an integral member of the team.

The patented mobile phone slider boxes I developed were picked up by Motorola.

One thing led to another, at the age of 24 I found myself on a plane to Chicago.

There I set up a satellite office that would later become the US HQ for Burgopak.
