Creative director, strategic visual storyteller, human.

From narrative fine art to photojournalism, teaching to entrepreneurship, my throughline has always been storytelling. As creative director, I look for the “why” and challenge my team to reach our audience with beautiful, sophisticated, and effective communication.

My superpower is finding and sharing hidden connections - between people, teams, and ideas.

I consider carefully, but usually end up at Yes; that’s where I find all the fun and interesting parts of life. Relentlessly curious, I thrive on learning, exploring, and diving in to new challenges.

I bring a rare enthusiasm to both the creative and the strategic side of the business. I’m not afraid of spreadsheets, KPIs or ROIs. But most importantly, I am not afraid for you to see me riding a corn dog.
