I’m a creative director and copywriter with over 20 years of experience under my belt. I also hold an educational background in art direction and design. I’ve worked on some of the biggest brands in the world, won awards from around the globe, and toiled at agencies on opposite sides of the ocean. My expertise spans various mediums, from social and digital to traditional and experiential. As a leader, I’ve managed teams big and small with a leadership style built on a foundation of empathy and mentorship. I believe in nurturing relationships with peers and clients alike and the power of the creative spirit to bring people together no matter our differences.
