about

I consider myself incredibly lucky.

I get to come up with unexpected ideas and tell compelling stories that help brands solve their problems and grow their business. And I actually get paid for doing it - usually.

For over 25 years, I've been lucky enough to work with and learn from some of the best creative minds in the business, on some of the biggest brands in the world.  

 

Along the way, I've crafted and executed engaging brand narratives across every possible traditional and digital medium, through the creative use of advertising, design, storytelling, and engaging content that changes people's hearts and minds, and makes amazing things happen.

 

I feel lucky, because I still get to do what I love to do.

If I'm truly lucky, I'll get the chance to do it with you.
