Me in a nutshell:
I'm currently Creative Director for my hometown Seattle Mariners.
A copywriter by trade, my work has been recognized at Cannes, the One Show, D&AD, the Media Innovation Awards, the ADCCs, the Webbys, the IAB Mixx Awards, the Emmy Awards, and more. I’m currently serving on the FWA Jury, and have served on judging panels for the Anvil Awards and the ADCC (Advertising & Design Club of Canada) Awards. While in Toronto I completed the Swim creative leadership program.
Before living the ad life I attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles (musical theatre karaoke let’s goooo), and graduated with Distinction in Advertising from Art Center College of Design.
I also love to draw, love the Seahawks, know the movie Clue by heart, finished my first marathon in 2025, won my first (and only) amateur boxing match by TKO, and still have my membership card to the official Buffy the Vampire Slayer Fan Club. Let's talk about it.
