About

I am a highly motivated, versatile, and conceptual creative/art director, specializing mainly in the digital space. During my career, I worked at small boutique agencies to large corporate-sized firms while delivering 360° campaigns for many notable SMB & Fortune 500 companies. My expertise include: advertising through cross-channel platforms, establishing creative strategies, and marketing for different verticals (entertainment/media, consumer packaged goods, beauty, pharma, and tech).

Outside of work, I am recently a proud, new dad to a beautiful daughter, an avid football fan, video-game enthustiast, film fanatic, ultimate frisbee player, and corgi lover. I am always open to hearing about any creative opportunities. References are available upon request.
