The only thing better than making great work is making it with great people. Not just because it’s more fun that way, but because the best ideas only see the light of day when there’s a shared passion and vision with the people you’re working with.

And with 20 years under my belt (and some awards on my shelf) I’ve kept this at the heart of what I do as a Creative Director: get people excited about an idea and bring them along for the ride. It’s an approach I’ve brought to big and small agencies alike, and honed in-house by partnering with marketing leads to guide the work as an ambassador for the brand.

Of course, the details that make ideas truly stand out are all about craftsmanship, which I bring to every project I touch, with a hands-on approach and a deep involvement in the work from start to finish.

And I've been lucky to do this with a wide range of brands over the years: Verizon, Electronic Arts, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, EA Sports, IBM, British Airways, ESPN, Peet's Coffee, Naked Juice and more.

I'm currently based in New York, as a Group Creative Director and filmmaker. View my film work here.
