Broad creative work experience ranging from Creative Direction at large agencies with national and global clients to smaller, in-house shops with a family of brands. My background in both work scenarios has helped me develop a nimble skill set adaptable to a wide range of clients and challenges. My work portfolio is equally wide ranging, from clean and corporate to more viral and edgy. In addition, working as a producer for three years has given me a holistic understanding of the still and video production process, such as: managing shoots, budgets, overseeing post production, and probably the most important skill- how to get everyone's lunch order correct.
