executive creative director

Oh hey and welcome. So you’re here to learn a little about me. Here you go: I’ve led award-winning creative for WPP/YRNY and Publicis on accounts including Procter & Gamble, Campbell’s, and Dannon to name a few.

I founded one of the first social networks for remote workers. Professor Adam Grant and Sam Yagan were my earliest advisors. Wework threatened to sue me and Workfrom offered to buy me out.

I took some time off, wrote articles for HuffPost and Forbes, and had a family. I passed up amazing career opportunities with Edelman and Fact & Fiction to spend time with my kids which I don’t regret!

Then I rolled-up my sleeves and started my own mission-driven agency, which has been my most rewarding career move - so far. From saving over 800 animals quarantined in the largest animal sanctuary in South America to getting tablet devices into the hands of patients isolated in hospitals and needing to share parting words with their loved ones, my social impact work coming out of the global public health crisis is what I’m proudest of. So yeh.

Basically, I like to create stuff and I like the stuff I create to help make the world a better place. To me human-centered thinking is not just a design principle, it’s a way of life. Thanks for stopping by :)
