Who do I think I am?
I’m a builder. I make and launch things into the world. And by things, I mean brands, products, content, and strategies that connect with people. My secret sauce is a fine blend of art direction, content production, and strategic brand thinking. Throughout my career, I’ve led the convergence of digital, advertising, and content. I'm an entrepreneurial creative, able to challenge traditional ways of thinking and inspire others to do the same.
Who have I worked with?
Through the years, I’ve had the opportunity to shape major brands across multiple categories, including Lexus, Starbucks, Chipotle, Frontier, Duracell, Blue Moon, Crispin Cider Co, Henry's Hard Soda, Peroni, Naked Juice, Einstein Bros Bagels, IZZE, Belkin, The Ritz-Carlton, Flexjet, Häagen-Dazs, DISH, and Discovery Networks, along with numerous start-ups and non-profits. I have a deep understanding of how to reach digital native, affluent, and Millennial audiences.
