About

I am an award-winning independent Digital Executive Creative Director with over 17 years of experience in the Digital Advertising, Marketing, Brand, Design, and Digital product space. I have spent my career leading creatives, building teams, and helping brands and agencies solve for an increasingly complex world.

I was recently EVP, Executive Creative Director at Saatchi & Saatchi, NY, leading the USAA account focused on integrating the Power of One team and elevating our creative output. I oversaw teams in New York City, Dallas, Austin, and San Luis Obispo.

Before Saatchi & Saatchi, I was an SVP, Group Creative Director at the McCann World Group (MWG). Serving as GCD for MRM//McCann, Optaros Ecommerce, and M:United. For MRM//McCann, I built the integrated digital design, technology, and UX departments to strengthen McCann World Groups’ network offerings.

I also served as the Creative and UX lead for Optaros eCommerce. Here I led Boston Proper, Alpine Stars, Massy Inc, Automotive Arts, Kendra Scott, and all our new business initiatives.

At M:United, I helped win the Microsoft account and help build M:United, the internal creative agency for our Microsoft client. I worked closely with Microsoft’s User Experience group to build an Atomic design system for the Microsoft global digital brand experience and our campaign work.

During my career at the McCann World Group, I had the privilege of leading the U.S. Army, Staples, Ihop, Microsoft, ETS, and the Zurich insurance accounts. I functioned as an integrated lead on new business pitches across the IPG Holding company.

Across lines of business, I managed teams of over 40 to bring success to our clients and teams and managed internal creative studios for clients.

The agency integration effort led to McCann World group winning the Cannes 2019 Network of the year and MRM//McCann winning AdAge B2B agency of the year.

Previously to the Mccann World Group, I was a Senior Creative Director at Blast Radius in Seattle, Washington, and New York City, where I started their Seattle office, building the office from a team of five to a group of 65. In my duties as a senior creative leader, I worked across the agency’s global network to win new clients and expand its footprint.

At Blast Radius, I served as the Global Digital Creative Director for Levis. I worked across Nike, Lulu Lemon, Microsoft, Starbucks, Disney, Kiwi Collection, Castrol, AOL, Xbox, and Danone yogurt.

I started my career pioneering products as services at Xbox and Microsoft Zune, launching their first music subscription service, and exploring emerging software.

During my career, I have taught at The Future Academy for The School of Visual Arts in New York City and continue to give back to young creatives and strategists coming into the industry.

I have always pursued opportunities and ideas at the intersection of storytelling, design, technology, and product innovation. One of my greatest professional joys is building high-performing teams focused on creating meaningful cultural impact and long-lasting memories along the way.
