RESUME´
I’ve held a broad range of creative roles
for a diverse array of agencies and companies over my career. I’ve paid dues
in the trenches of desktop publishing and production, designed corporate identities and all manner of marketing collateral, produced national print and OOH campaigns, built online games and apps as well as
digital campaigns, and created dozens
of broadcast television spots, including multiple Super Bowl ads. My many titles have included: digital artist, designer, art director, creative director, and a few others in between. Ultimately what all that means
is that I’ve learned how to adapt my
creative problem solving, brand storytelling, and strategic messaging expertise to all
sorts of marketing needs. Even better,
I’ve learned how to do it in clever, fun,
and surprising ways.
