They say 13 is unlucky, but for my clients, it’s a masterclass in range. As a Creative Director with 13 years of experience, I’ve spent my career proving that no brand is too corporate to be cool. I’ve gone from making things sparkle in NYC @ Tiffany & Co., to the automotive grit of Detroit, where I led Chevy’s TikTok launch – bringing a legacy brand into a whole new cultural conversation. Currently, I help drive the creative for Deloitte’s global partnerships with the Olympics and US Open.
Whether I’m convincing New Yorkers that government jobs can rival startups or developing a high-stakes pitch for a C-suite executive, I create the work that wins the room.
