ABOUT

I am a writer and a creative director working in New York. So I'm wordy and I run on caffeine — a combo that sometimes gets me into trouble, but also helps me run away really fast.

I’ve worked in both traditional and digital agencies, and my work has received nods from The Art Directors Club, The One Show, The Shorty Awards, The Webby’s, Google Creative Sandbox, and the FWA.

I believe that honesty is a gift and the best creative departments thrive because of it. I love dogs, cats, and all living creatures (except ferrets). I read voraciously. A former CD once called me “The Butcher” for my love of cutting copy. I like that. Makes me sound dangerous.
