I win awards because I care about the work, inspire creativity because I fight for my teams, strive for great design because humans deserve it, and tell meaningful stories because I enjoy the attention.

I consider it my job to start new conversations, tell new stories, and help brands understand new ways to exist. I'm a champion for diversity in all its forms, for intelligent use of new technology in all communications, for creative solutions to combat all problems, for respect towards all humans, and for pie with all meals.

I have led a creative team that won the first-ever Advertising Age Global Agency Network of the Year award for a digital agency, mentored students to a dozen national and international award wins (and over 150 smaller ones), led a top-rated school for creative advertising, and successfully named two German Shepherds. At my core, I'm a passionate soul who pushes for the very best from every human I meet, because I know what humanity is capable of when it truly cares.

Whether mentoring a student on a spec campaign, branding an international consultancy business, or fabricating a new motorcycle, I put myself into my work. The perfect creative product doesn’t exist, but I will never stop trying to rub up against the idea of one.
