I’m occasionally bearded, and I love going on hikes.

I’m a devoted creative thinker, experienced in art direction, conceptualizing ideas and producing innovative solutions beyond the ask. My mission is to solve complex and challenging problems with intelligent, strategic, and memorable work that drives business results and builds brand loyalty.

I’ve had a bit of a non-traditional path on my way to becoming an ad creative. Previous chapters as a video editor and motion graphics artist. Later a VFX artist and matte painter for The Mill. Even a blip in the tech world at an augmented reality start-up. These earlier experiences have all lead to my strengths now as an Associate Creative Director, because I have a strong knack for envisioning the thing before it’s made and how it might come together, and I can help my team and clients see it too. Whether it’s a commercial, a print ad, social/digital, or a new twist on radio - I’m solid at coming up with the big ideas and fostering the full creative process all the way through an integrated campaign.

Over my 11+ years on the agency side of things, I’ve been called devoted, thorough, clever, hands-on, playful and reliable. In the business of creative solutions, believe my depth and breadth of experience can be a great asset to any collaborative creative team.

Let’s make something together…
