I'm a freelance creative director / art director / entrepreneur. I'm passionate about creating targeted, evocative pieces that define brands and move audiences. I love working with teams and have had the great fortune of collaborating with some super-talented people. I've been at global powerhouses, boutique agencies and in-house while producing a range of projects – from tiny budgets to multi-million dollar campaigns.
When I'm not "advertising," I make space for dance and live music. Last year, I launched JacketsWithoutBorders, a not-for-profit dedicated to fighting fast fashion while funneling abandoned jackets to children in need. My synapses also get fired up whenever I travel, visit UNESCO World Heritage Cultural sites, take photos, drink jasmine tea or watch psychological thrillers. Not necessarily in that order.
