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 world, and worked at agencies on the other side of the world. I’ve touched just about every type of “advertising” there is – from web, social, and digital to film, print, radio, and experiential. I’ve even designed a 75,000 sq.ft. company headquarters. I believe in big ideas, strong branding, process, teamwork and mentorship; I believe in the semicolon and the serial comma. I’m a highly experienced Creative who looks at every project from every angle and who finds joy in all things creative.
