About me

I am a seasoned Creative Director with 10+ years of industry leadership. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for creative direction solutions, as well as for fashioning innovative branded content, branding, and running creative teams, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to company growth and expansion throughout my career. Professional focal points include creative direction, strategy, pitching to clients, working with sales, design, branding, storytelling, product, video, print and publishing, e-commerce, and client service and satisfaction.

Most recently I fulfilled the duties of Creative Director of Washington Post's Brand Studio. Under my leadership, I hired the creative team and develop business strategy. I was also tasked with developing the direction and branding of the studio, creating products to bring to market, pitching to clients and answering RFPs, and overseeing the build and execution of each live project. I also collaborated closely with ad innovation to create tech-driven, user-targeted ad products to promote the brand studio's work. In addition, I reported directly to the SVP and VP of advertising, and liaised with fellow design members to ensure the company's support structure was driving business forward with minimal expenditures.

Colleagues describe me as a hands-on, progressive and resourceful creative design expert who can be relied on to offer superior solutions that deliver profitable results on time and under budget.
