everything for the WORK.
because the WORK is everything.
Thanks for taking the time to check out my work. Every piece here is the result of a group of people coming together to make the work the best it could be. Whether my role was writing, mentoring, working with the management team, production and/or client, I was happy to do whatever it took to make things happen. Some of the pieces here have been awarded at Cannes, by The Academy of Arts & Sciences (Emmy), The One Show, CommArts and recipient of The Grand Effie for being named the most effective campaign of 2001.
