ABOUT ME

Hello! I’m an Independent Creative Director, Art Director, and sometimes Creative Brand Consultant. I’m also known to write a little bit – which you’re experiencing at this very moment. My background started in Design, so the fine art of craft has always been in my DNA.

For over two decades, I’ve made award-winning, business-winning, consumer-winning, and eyeball-winning creative for brands worldwide. And I’ve worked on just about every category for any media channel. Through it all, I’ve learned from many amazingly talented mentors, partners, and clients. Shout out to all of you!

Currently I can be found working from my home studio with agencies or brands in any time zone. Sometimes integrated within an on-staff team, other times as a partner on a freelance team. When I do take a break, it’s to head out snowboarding, kayaking, hiking or just taking my 5lb. Yorkie on a squirrel chasing expedition in the park.

Have a good time clicking around my site and have a better time by giving me a hire.
