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 it, overseeing it, or working with the management team, production and client to usher it through, 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.
Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate enough to work at some of the most influential agencies in the world, for and with some of the most creative people, on some of the most recognized brands.
I’m currently freelancing as a copywriter/creative director helping agencies and clients on a one-on-one level. If you or your organization might need someone with my talents, experience and background on your team, would love to chat about any opportunities.
