ABOUT ME

 

ABOUT ME

 
 

Hello there.

Thanks for dropping by.

I’m a creative. I love being creative. Over the years, my curiosity has sent me in different directions. In traditional advertising, I worked on local and global brand campaigns at agencies both big and small, first in the US and then in London. I helped build and oversee social engagement teams and social departments, worked in sports marketing and within in-house creative departments. I haven’t met a sport I don’t love, my midwestern roots showing. But just as easily, I lose myself in beauty-tip videos and in research connecting liquor brands to desserts. Curiosity’s driven me to dip my toes in most client category.

My superpower is listening, whether to overworked, experienced creatives, shiny-new and overeager creatives or highly-opinionated clients. I value the relationships I build, and I build strong ones.

Because of this job, I’ve travelled all over the world and worked with some incredibly talented people. I’m grateful. My main takeaway is that no matter how big, small, creative or corporate an agency, I’d prefer not to work with assholes.

Otherwise and outside of work, I’m a writer, a reader, a traveller, a film fanatic and a home renovater.
