I’m a Creative Director (Art) with nearly 20 years of experience building worlds for brands, leading teams, and making work that’s relevant and meaningful.
Recently at McCann, I helped win CeraVe, earned Webby and Andy awards for The Beauty Of podcast, and led creative during Ulta’s record-breaking $10B sales year.
I also teach at SVA and mentor emerging creatives, making safe spaces for ideas in progress.
But, I still can’t explain to my parents exactly what I do.
