One-sentence bio
I can direct, design and write. I love bringing stories to life.
Creative philosophy or approach
I make tough brands better.
Yahoo. Microsoft. HP. T-Mobile. I like the challenges that face technology brands. I thrive on simple, clean design and bold iconic ideas. I work endlessly on unifying brands, work collaboratively and sign up for “idea is king.” I write smarter questions that make the interviews and storytelling better and foster great relationships. That’s what I do.
From the world’s most recognized creative agency: Goodby, Silverstein & Partners to Microsoft, with product launches on a global scale, I’ve crafted integrated campaigns, created brand content, and designed retail experiences. Let’s see what we can do together.
Recent work I’m proud of
As part of the United Nations call to stop coronavirus misinformation and tell people all over the world vital public health messages. My partner and I are working on the brief and we’ve created a campaign featuring “other” endangered species; social posts From One Endangered Species to Another. We’re partnering with Joe Sartore, National Geographic photographer, on this project by using his amazing photos from other endangered species to help stop the spread of coronavirus. This is an incredibly difficult time for everyone and we’re honored to help communication cut through.
Link to campaign: The work is currently being submitted to the UN and W.H.O. so no links yet.
Recent work I admired
The Art of Quarantine enlists some of the Art lnstitute’s most iconic paintings in the effort to promote social distancing to slow the spread of COVID-19. It’s imperative for people to understand the importance of staying at home during this time. Seeing the stark and inspired re-creations of “Nighthawks,” “American Gothic,” “La Grande Jatte,” and more got me super excited about the power of creativity at this time of crisis.
