Conceptual Creative Director who solves problems strategically and creatively to deliver meaningful, memorable work.  Areas of expertise are leading 360 campaign work, brand refreshes, and campaign repositioning. I love leading teams, mentoring juniors, leading brainstorms, and hosting workshops using improv games that teach collaboration in the workplace.
Dream projects include creating a patch for a space mission, designing a product line of firework packaging, designing my own souvenir penny, and driving cross country in a food-themed vehicle (think Platers Peanut or the Wienermobile).
