What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead brand, creative, and marketing strategy end to end—building campaigns, web experiences, and AI-powered systems that connect strong creative work to measurable performance.

I've led marketing and creative work at Market Disrupt, helping drive company growth to seven figures through strategy, campaign execution, and creative direction.

I managed $20K+ per month in paid media across six active client accounts, achieving ROAS as high as 7.5x. I also built brand-trained AI systems for B2B fintech clients, including a design system for PayPlan and a content system for altLINE.

As Creative Director, I directed video editors, web designers, and paid ad designers while building campaigns, landing pages, brand systems, sales collateral, and performance creative. I use conversion data to refresh creative, typically delivering 6–8 new iterations per cycle.

Earlier at Plus One, an Optum Company, I managed marketing across six locations and a $1M+ annual budget, while leading and mentoring a 14-person team. I also work independently with clients on websites, landing pages, email, SEO, content, and brand identity.
