I’m a Creative Director, Art Director with two decades of experience in advertising, but my creativity doesn’t stop there. I’ve built brands, designed identities, written copy, illustrated characters, and even written and produced music. Whatever the creative challenge, I bring the right mix of strategy, storytelling, and design to create work that gets seen and talked about.

  • I don’t just come up with ideas—I execute them. Whether leading teams or getting into the details myself, I make sure the work is on-brief, engaging, and exactly what it needs to be.

  • My work is never quirky for the sake of being quirky. Every creative decision is rooted in strategy, built to connect with the right audience in the right way.

  • I’m your Creative Fixer. I can easily slip into a vast array of roles, at any stage of the process, and work with/lead a team like I’ve been there all along. Plus, I’ve worked on beer and pharma and “cheese products” so I know the ins and outs of getting around regulated messaging.

  • As the Founder of two brands, I also understand the deeply personal nature of building and nurturing someone’s vision. This dual perspective—creative and client—gives me a unique perspective for collaboration and execution.

  • When you’re freelance, you have to do a great job or they won’t call you back. And I have a reputation for getting extended and called back.
