Resume
I have been a professional creative person for over 21 years and as a result my portfolio includes digital products and marketing campaigns for some of the largest brands in the world. By taking a human-centered approach to design and marketing, I have created experiences and content across industries including automotive, food, health care and charitable organizations. Along the way I have learned a few things about product design, broadcast and video production, print design, experiential design and branding.
As a creative director I have had the pleasure to lead and represent a crew of talented, creative people and collaborate with some smarty pants types in other disciplines including development and content production.
Some of the people that seem to like me are Communication Arts, The One Show, Print Magazine, The FWA, the American Advertising Federation, AIGA, and my Mom says I am at least the second most handsome son.
