Creative Director / Writer

Résumé

Creative Director / Writer

 

Creative Lead with 14+ years of experience. I’ve led teams through brand and web launches/redesigns, established voice and design guidelines for iconic brands, developed efficient creative systems, and directed both photo and video shoots.

Strategy drives my creative process, and I approach collaboration without ego. I take pride in developing talent, leading by example, and instilling a focused, upbeat and enjoyable team culture.

I have a dry sense of humor, high-motor work ethic, and a team-first mentality.
Put me in, coach.
