ABOUT ME

I'm a freelance Art Director/ACD with +13 years of ad agency experience.
I like to make things, crack tricky briefs, and scour far corners of the Internet.
I live in ATX, where I eat breakfast tacos and dodge the hot-hot sun.

I've been lucky enough to hone my skills on brands like Samsung, Volkswagen, Mastercard, TOYOTA, A&E, and HBO at agencies like Wunderman Thompson NY, McCann, and 360i.
