Global Creative Leader helping brands navigate moments of growth and change—translating strategy into stories, experiences, and creative systems that people can connect to or even fall in love with.
For over 14 years, I've worked across agencies, startups, and global consumer brands, leading creative at the intersection of brand, product, culture, and storytelling.
I've helped evolve a DTC skincare startup into a national brand, built global campaigns for Bumble, launched products and original content franchises, turned partnerships into experiences, and once made a lingerie line for small boobs—entirely from scratch.
While my background is in copywriting, these days my work is less about any one medium and more about connecting the dots: turning a strategy into an idea, an idea into a world, and that world into work that can stretch across everything from film and OOH to product, social, editorial, partnerships, and IRL.
Admittedly, I also care a lot about the people making the work alongside me. I like building teams where strategists, writers, designers, makers, and partners can show up authentically, challenge one another thoughtfully, and create work that’s better than any one person or team could have made alone.
I'm currently overseeing global creative for Bumble, BFF, and Badoo (Bumble Inc.). Before that, I helped build Curology's in-house creative team after nearly a decade spent in ad agencies—both the local guys and the Publicis behemoth. Thanks to remote work, I’m currently based in LA, but spend significant time flying between the midwest and NYC too.
When not doing the brand and marketing stuff, I’m probably bingeing Bravo with my senior rescue dog (Kero), trying to make a dent in my extensive TBR, and messing around with clay and paints at the studio.
