Hi, I’m Ed.
I’ve spent my entire career doing what I love most: building beautiful, meaningful brands from scratch. From launching independent fashion labels like Quality Peoples, to curating a modern Mexican lifestyle brand and boutique at Manyana, to creative directing digital campaigns for James Bond at MGM Studios and Mostasa. I’ve worked across the worlds of fashion, entertainment, hospitality, digital media, and retail.
At the heart of every project is the same goal: to tell a compelling story. Every great brand has a narrative that runs deeper than the logo, the product, or the platform. Helping uncover and shape that story visually, emotionally, and experientially is what drives my work.
I’m now looking to bring that creative vision and leadership into a collaborative team environment ideally at a company that values focus, clarity, and creativity. I’m especially drawn to roles in fashion, active, tech, and design-forward industries where I can contribute to long-term brand building, mentor younger creatives, and do great work with great people wherever they may be.
