HELLO

Creative leadership. ECD. Hair is not photoshopped.

I found my advertising calling at NYC’s School of Visual Arts, where upon graduating, landed a job as an art director at BBDO NY. I wanted “The Work. The Work. The Work.” I learned that the most effective ideas are grounded in reality. Turns out real humans connect with real human truths. After a few formidable creative years, I took that knowledge, along with some Cannes Lions, One Show Pencils, LIAA’s, Clios and other various hardware shapes to a bevy of agencies to see what else I could learn and brand problems I could creatively solve.

Eventually landing at McCann NY 2016, I’ve had the opportunity to lead creative on Verizon Fios, brand and launch Verizon 5G, Microsoft, Chick-fil-A, U.S. Army & Army National Guard, State Street, and most recently, Reckitt brands like Lysol, Mucinex and Airborne.

After 9 really great years at the McCann Corporation, I am now available for freelance or full-time opportunities.
