What do you get by hiring me.

You get a creative generalist, who can provide help in concept development, creative direction, corporate design, copywriting, strategic thinking, content production, and social media experiences. An seasoned art director who is focussed to help brands connect with diverse audiences and go beyond traditional advertising. You get a problem-solver, eagerly tackling unconventional projects, pitches and tight deadlines that others avoid, whether by leading the project, collaborating with peers, or mentoring young creatives.
