Delivering results through brilliant brand creative & design craft.
Overview
––
I am an executive creative leader, strategist, and advisor who thrives at the intersection of brand storytelling, design, and technology. I have extensive agency and in-house experience. And I excel at building, developing, and leading high-performing teams to achieve exceptional business results.
Currently, I serve as Aquent’s Executive Creative Director, leading global brand design and creative teams. Most recently, we launched Skill, a next-generation AI-powered staffing and recruiting company built on proprietary machine matching technology. My team's innovative work has been recognized by the ANA, Anthem, Digiday, Hatch, IHAF, W3, and more.
Before joining Aquent, I held consistent senior creative leadership roles at Isobar (now Dentsu Creative) and Digitas, where I developed brand identities, design systems, experiences, products, content, and campaigns for top brands including Adidas, American Express, General Motors, LEGO, Procter & Gamble, and Samsung.
