Thank you for stopping by

I work to connect brands and people through stories and experiences.

I’ve spent time working in traditional agencies, digital agencies, and most recently on the client side — all the while balancing strategic and creative roles. I currently work as Head of Brand + Creative at Red Wing boots, prior to that I was Creative Director on Nike at AKQA Portland.

I stumbled into this business through a past life of doing graffiti art. Crafting a message that not everybody wanted to hear — in a place almost no one wanted to see it — taught me many things, but, above all, to respect my audience and hold my work to a very high standard. 

Feel free to contact me here.
