I’m a creative leader with 20+ years of experience shaping work across just about every category you can think of: tech, finance, retail, entertainment, CPG, communications, beauty, babies, and yes, even pets.
I started my career at Ogilvy and McCann before going freelance, spending the next decade-plus helping agencies like Mother, Mekanism, BBDO, and VML win new business and keep existing clients happy. I got pretty good at parachuting in — and apparently at making myself hard to get rid of, because they kept asking me to stick around to lead teams, build client relationships, and see productions through.
That’s how I landed at Adam&EveDDB (later LOLA USA) — covering a paternity leave that turned into a full-time role as Group Creative Director. There I led a portfolio of food and beverage brands including Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs, Eckrich Sausage, McCain Potatoes, Tastiez, and Muscle Milk, across TVC, OLV, activations, and social.
At my core, I’m a maker. I build furniture, lamps, art, and big ideas with equal enthusiasm, with a knack for finding sharp insights that make the work feel both bold and culturally relevant. When I’m not doing that, you’ll find me running with my dog, experimenting in the kitchen, plotting my next escape, or being bossed around by my cats.
