American and Australian citizen. European by marriage. Water-loving ︎ Pisces by birth.
I’m driven by curiosity, taste, and a belief that the most effective creative work balances imagination with real-world impact, beyond industry conversation.
My creative judgment has been shaped through hands-on work across conceptual thinking, design, photography, film, and innovation, tested repeatedly at a global level. My work has been consistently recognized by Cannes, D&AD, The One Show, Clios, Effies, and more, which matters less as a tally than as evidence the ideas perform at scale.
Alongside the work, I build teams, systems, and empathetic environments grounded in clarity, high standards, and honest opinions. This includes setting clear creative direction early, aligning cross-functional partners around shared goals, and staying close to the work to ensure ideas continue to improve through execution.
I believe the best creative leaders raise the bar and make room for others to do the same.
