As an ideas-first Creative Lead + Art Director with a focus on digital, editorial and commercial projects, I always hold on to the persistent urge to tell a good story. Over the last 15 years, I’ve worked with big and small agencies, independent boutiques, start-ups, and as an in-house Art Director for leading brands. I’m passionate about directing photography and video on set and bringing a vision to life through well-crafted, fresh and contemporary outputs and campaigns. As a creative, I spearhead cut-through thinking and ideas, integrating advertising campaigns across emerging channels—TV, print, digital & social—while leading design. Working directly with clients, I seek partnerships to deliver strategic, emotionally-resonant work that also achieves brand goals.…As an ideas-first Creative Lead + Art Director with a focus on digital, editorial and commercial projects, I always hold on to the persistent urge to tell a good story.
