Highly skilled in a diverse range of artistic and design practices, I bring a foundation in traditional artistry—illustration, painting, photography, and styling—to a future-facing creative approach.

My style has led to collaborations across the United States, Europe, Japan, and Australia, spanning luxury, premium, Fortune 50, and independent brands. These include published work in major magazines, books, and advertising campaigns with global and boutique agencies.

I’m best known for my background as an illustrator, producing visual content across a range of platforms. My refined eye, thoughtful editing, and ability to translate high-level strategy into on-brand images marked with a signature elevated touch have helped me evolve from Artist to Art Director.

In my role as an Art Director, I specialize in marketing imagery and campaign development. I often lead multiple areas of the storytelling, from concept to various facets of creative execution. With a background shaped by the NYC fashion industry, I now offer an expanded suite of services, with beauty and home as my latest areas of focus.

Driven by a constant curiosity for the creative world and cultural shifts, I’ve recently taken a deep dive into emerging creative technologies. I currently work as a consulting art director, leading 3D imagery and AI use cases for integrated marketing initiatives.

I live in Brooklyn with my husband and our daughter, Georgia Cy. Most people call me Bern.
