Hi!

I have over a decade’s worth of experience as an art director and multi-platform storyteller working at agencies such as DDB, Saatchi & Saatchi NY, Translation, and mcgarrybowen. I’m happiest when I’m working on things that make other people feel & think differently - happy, sad, hysterical, angry, doesn’t matter. I geek out over strategy and statistics, and believe the best ideas are rooted in them.

In my latest leadership role on the Orkin pest control account, I helped the brand compose & perform their first live symphony using their expertise & knowledge of cicadas. As a childhood band nerd, it was a dream come true, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the trusting relationship I developed with the clients over three years.

I’ve worked on 360 campaigns across everything from fast food and candy to beauty, diapers, and my personal favorite: pest control. I love building personal relationships with my clients because I think shared trust is necessary to sell the best ideas, like the More In Common campaign for McDonald’s which was the first-ever to focus on something other than food - the people who dine there.

My work has been awarded by D&AD, the Addys, The One Club, and the ADC.

My passions outside of work are my daughter, scuba diving, gardening, and volunteering for the Chicago Public Parks & Rec department. (I bartend at Pumpkinpalooza at Skinner Park every October, see you there?)
