CREATIVE DIRECTOR PORTFOLIO

What I bring to the party.

Creative Director and Writer with extensive experience in developing brands, telling their stories in unique and impactful ways, and being a brand steward through campaigns, experiences, and multi-channel initiatives. A natural problem solver and thought leader with an empathetic communication style that allows for equally effective interactions with creatives, clients, and executives. A self-starter who is adept at pushing ideas through in all creative forms from concept to presentation, website builds, product launches, writing, SEO, and digital advertising. An exemplary blend of creative and strategy.
