Creative director by day. Sci-fi author at night.
I bring over 15 years of award-winning creative strategy, art direction and end-to-end producing for film, video and animation to guide world-class talent in crafting one-of-a-kind brand experiences that move the hearts and minds of audiences. My alter-ego is a speculative science fiction writer on a mission to explore the mysteries of the multiverse.
I approach each project with an investigative eye for how it supports the overarching purpose of a brand, then strive to deliver unexpected creative strategies, content and experiences to engage consumers and keep the story moving forward.
Sorta like Kevin Feige, only for brands.
Based in Chicago. Available globally.
