Working at Wright from the start of my career, I began as a graphic designer in the small, in‑house studio for the boutique modern art and design auction house. Capitalizing on my dual degrees in photography and graphic design, I worked closely with the photography team from week one. That collaboration quickly became one of the most enjoyable parts of my role, and I would later grow to oversee in‑house photography across all locations nationwide.

As I grew into an Art Director role, I evolved alongside the industry—shifting from a print‑based communications model to a digital powerhouse that functioned more like an e‑commerce engine. In 2019 Wright merged with Rago in Lambertville NJ, marking the beginning of a significant period of growth. Rago/Wright subsequently grew to acquire LA Modern auctions (LAMA) in Los Angeles, CA, and Toomey & Co., in Chicago in 2021. Under my leadership, the Chicago team became the hub for all creative work—centralizing design, photography standards, and production, elevating the new brands and bringing consistency across channels.

In 2024, I directed the production of over 25,000 curated lots across 167 auctions, achieving $121 million in sales while also launching the two newest auction brands in the Rago/Wright portfolio: Landry Pop Auctions and Poster Auctions International.

As Creative Director, I led the creative vision for six distinct auction houses, cultivating each brand’s unique identity through visual storytelling. While the material varied widely from brand to brand and collection to collection, a commitment to quality of presentation anchored the work. During a five‑year period of rapid expansion—when the organization doubled in size—I revitalized visual identity systems for newly acquired brands and partnered with development teams to build tools that enhanced internal workflows. Notably, I drove ongoing improvements to Rago/Wright’s custom content management system, a cloud‑based image workflow, and front‑end tools that increased bid activity and user engagement. Even as volume grew, we kept the craft close—producing elegant print for special collections, tailored photo shoots, and layered digital storytelling at the core of our practice.
