Hello! I’m an award-winning creative and creative consultant with over 15 years of experience in traditional advertising, earned creative PR, experiential, social, and some cutting-edge stuff that can only be described as “other.” I specialize in creative that solves business challenges – and doesn’t just tick the boxes on a media plan.

About me
I got my start in advertising when, on a whim and in need of a paycheck, I took a job at a tiny agency in Milwaukee whose main clients were a technical school and a used car lot. I was immediately hooked. In 2001, I showed up in the Bay Area with a portfolio full of mostly trash and a conviction that someone would eventually hire me. I was unprepared for the level of fun I was about to have or the number of amazing, smart, inspiring, creative people I was about to meet.
Prior to becoming a copywriter, I worked at the Guggenheim in NYC. Prior to that, I got a degree in Art History at the University of Wisconsin. Prior to that I was an aspiring concert cellist. Prior to that I drew a lot of unicorns and ate fish sticks. Prior to that I was a baby.
