What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a leadership role in a creative department in businesses ranging from corporate, to agency, to editorial.

I’m a creative leader based in Columbus, Ohio.

I have directed creative teams for an 75-person in-house creative agency, overseeing campaigns from concept through delivery. I built production workflow standards and brand governance frameworks adopted org-wide.

I manage internal and external resources while managing budgets and client relationships while serving as a conduit and idea generator for creatives.

Earlier in my career I directed photography and video storytelling for a group of editorial magazines, shaping real people and moments into content readers wanted to engage with. I began in journalism as a daily newspaper photographer, and I bring that focus on finding the story through interviewing, subject direction, and editorial direction.
