Hello!

I’m a Senior Art Director from Colorado, currently based in Chicago. In my past lives I’ve been an award-winning Dairy Queen cone maker, barista, baker, and corporate event planner. Which is to say, I’m excellent at wearing lots of hats. Art Director is my favorite one so far.

I think the best part about advertising is getting to be a dabbler. Exploring worlds, niches, and passions I’d never heard of before. A pinky toe in this, an index finger in that — dabbling in a little bit of everything makes life (and of course the work) infinitely more interesting. I approach every opportunity with curiosity, and genuinely believe there’s no “right” way to solve anything. But there will always be better and more compelling ones. That is what I’m trying to create.

When I get stressed out or sad I watch Creed music videos. Because…I mean it’s a Creed music video, it’s absurd. I’m inspired by this, want to travel here, and will never not find this funny.
