I’ve worked across advertising agencies, startups, and digital brands—from automotive giants like Fiat, Jeep, and Renault to international names like AIB Bank and The Irish Times—and with a growing roster of online brands in fitness, crypto, and the creator economy. I direct creative strategy, build visual systems, and manage remote teams that deliver work that performs. In 2013, a sales campaign I art-directed drove a 300% increase in results and won Best Classifieds Ad at the Cruzeiro do Sul Advertising Awards.
