I’m a Creative Director, Art Director with two decades of experience in advertising. I’ve built brands, designed identities, written copy, illustrated characters, and even written and produced music. Whatever the creative challenge, I bring in a 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.

  • I can come with resources. Whether it’s a creative writing partner, a music partner, or animation partner, I have people I can bring to the party. There’s magic in working with a team who understands each other. Which also means: getting the job done faster.
