Hey there.

I am an art director, published children’s book author + illustrator and director. I am a firm believer great work does not come from where you work but who you work with and any opportunity can beget great work. I most recently led the creative department at an agency I co-founded and led as Chief Creative Officer called The Grist, growing a fully integrated creative agency from 5 to 16 people. In my various roles, I’ve been fortunate to build value across a wide range of industries and brands. One notable example is the campaign I created for JetBlue which became the most successful in company history, all completed on a shoe-string budget. I’ve had work recognized in almost every awards show including Cannes, One Show, Webbie , LIA, Hatch and others. 

I am fueled by curiosity, bored with templated redundancy and a firm believer laser should be spelled with a “z”.
