I build brand campaigns and creative teams that grow revenue, audiences, and enduring businesses.

I've led brand strategy and creative work for BBDO, McCann, and Cooper, Levy & Partners, building campaigns that connect with audiences and move business metrics.

As Co-Founder and Executive Creative Director at Cooper, Levy & Partners, I scaled a full-service studio from $0 to $1.5M in annual revenue within five years. I created Monkey Knife Fight's brand identity ahead of its $90M acquisition, helped Ozette Technologies secure $26M in Series A funding, and led a Liberty Tax website redesign that increased booked appointments by 17%.

Previously, I grew MRM/McCann's San Francisco office to $8M in revenue, built a 15-person creative team, and delivered more than 100 integrated campaigns for clients including Wells Fargo, Microsoft, Intel, and Cathay Pacific Airways.

I'm a two-time regional Emmy winner recognized by Cannes Lions, The One Show, Clio, and Effie Awards. My work spans brand narrative, visual storytelling, copywriting, digital experiences, and AI-augmented creative workflows.
