ACD Art Director by day, volunteer off-broadway usher by night. I’ve worked at agencies big and small including: Publicis NY, StrawberryFrog, Merkley+Partners, McgarryBowen and DeVito/Verdi amongst others. Experience includes a range of categories from luxury automotive and finance to fast food and packaged goods. Making everything from big picture brand platforms to detail-oriented design executions. In all of my work, I take a digital-first approach and am passionate about creating advertising that is as insightful as it is visually compelling.

A campaign for Nissan was part of a partnership with Disney and Lucas Films. It includes broadcast, online videos, social content and billboards covering five buildings across Times Square. It was an opportunity to work with Industrial Light and Magic, Logan Studios, and director Shawn Levy.

Based in Brooklyn, where I enjoy strolls along the Gowanus Canal, shuffleboard at Royal Palms, and discovering new recipes for my Vitamix.
