I am a Creative.

My passion is creating and helping companies and brands define themselves. I have a deep working knowledge of delivering creative from concept to execution. As a visual storyteller, my suite of skills includes creative strategy, concepting, film, photography, motion graphics, activations, and many more. 

As an experienced leader, I value collaboration and understand that a successful agency is built when a team all has a part in making the work great. I love mentoring junior creatives, partnering across teams, and working alongside talented people that can bring amazing ideas to life. 

Currently I am working as a creative lead, providing strategy and creative direction to a diverse range of brands within Scotts Miracle-Gro. I create and inspire work that is distinctive, effective, and truly stands out and delivers results.

I want to create something new every day.
