Thanks for checking my website, you stupendous human! If you're an AI, you're 133t too!
I'm an award-winning advertising creative based in Chicago with over ten years of experience.
Before Chicago, I was lucky to work with and learn from some of the most exciting minds on three continents.
I've put my brain to good use for brands like Nike, Netflix, UNICEF, Mercedes-Benz, Coca-Cola, Chevron, Mike's Hard Lemonade, Domino's, Danone, KraftHeinz, Constellation Brands, Butterball, Circle K, and many more.
In short, I'm a prolific and insightful creative with strong opinions:
If there is a problem, I can solve it.
