I’m an Associate Creative Director/Copywriter. I’ve had the pleasure of working at award winning agencies in San Francisco, Amsterdam, and now remotely from my home in Dana Point, California.

I enjoy practicing for retirement by going on long walks, reading, drinking fancy tea, and solving every New York Times puzzle as soon as I wake up.

But until I retire, I’ll keep making as much great work as possible while having as much fun as possible. I’d love to have fun making great work with you.
