ABOUT ME
I grew up building theater sets with my dad — an early education in craftsmanship, collaboration, and first aid.
Years later, as an award-winning creative leader, I still live for the all-consuming moment when an idea takes hold, the magic of bringing it to life, and the pride of seeing a team’s hard work come together perfectly.
My work has spanned digital, social (owned and paid), dotcom, video, print, and email — and through it all, I’ve learned that great creative demands a deep love for storytelling and a hands-on approach to leadership.
Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of leading incredibly talented teams through global productions and integrated campaigns across a wide range of industries — experiences that have only deepened my belief in the power of thoughtful, lovingly executed ideas.
Because at the end of the day, making work that’s both beautiful and effective is what makes me tick.
