Howdy 👋🏼

I’m a seasoned multidisciplinary Creative Director with over 15 years of experience spanning various industries including: tech, shopper marketing, food & beverage, QSR, pet, beauty, wellness, and more. I see the forest for the trees, but I always start with deep R&I, strategy alignment, and a high bar for goals because, well, it’s important to stretch.

I honed my Art Direction and team management skills in the Chicago agency circuit, working for Leo Burnett and FCB Chicago. Most recently, I was in-house Creative Director at Denver-based tech startup Ibotta, where I managed all D2C and B2B marketing creative and web development, oversaw all corporate branding, grew and maintained a team of 15, and helped lead the company through the most successful tech IPO in Denver’s history.

I consider myself an integrated creative all-rounder with passion for: brand strategy & identity, design systems and tools, above-the-line advertising & marketing, and mentoring hungry creatives.

When it comes to managing teams, I have a knack for finding the best people and fostering healthy team synergy. I value relationships and the unique needs of art directors, animators, copywriters, designers, illustrators, videographers, and producers. My management style allows for a nurturing work environment that sustains creative energy and high levels of morale—even during times of challenge and change.

Outside of office hours, I enjoy the calm of fly fishing and adventures with my wife, son, and good boy Ranger.
