ABOUT ME
I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. But if you’re looking for a myopic and self-aggrandizing creative, you’re in the wrong place. What I do have is a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you – if you happen to be the person in charge of replenishing breakfast buffets. But if you hire me, I will find you. But please send me your address and directions…my ex changed her Wi-Fi password and I’m out of data.
EXPERIENCE
As a Creative Director, I've managed teams working on everything from social, digital, experiential to broadcast. I've wrangled low-budget-no-permit-just-act-like-you-belong-there shoots in grocery parking lots to wildly expensive productions for global clients in far off lands like Cape Town, South Africa.
But most of all, I enjoy helping creatives hone their craft as a fellow Creative. As for the Director side of my responsibilities, my style is: lead by example and live with kindness. Turns out, you can do this job without being a complete and utter (insert expletive of your choice here) and still be incredibly effective.
