About Me

I'm a creative director who creates space, not just content. My path to creative leadership was untraditional, through farming fields, carpentry sites, and international programs in Malawi. These hands-on experiences shape how I see creative work.

I blend skills in brand strategy, copywriting, design, and production with a simple philosophy:

Think like a novelist: See the big picture, not just the details.

Design like a sculptor: Shape both physical and mental space.

Present like an actor: Bring ideas to life in ways that move people.

As a leader for over a decade, I guide rather than demand. Real leadership means giving others room to lead in their areas and creating conditions where good ideas can grow.

I've worked with international, national, B2B, and B2C brands, always finding the human story behind the project. My work doesn't demand attention—it invites engagement.

My unusual background taught me patience and respect for natural processes. These lessons make me a different kind of creative director—one who builds up rather than tears down.

My full resume is below. Let's talk about creating something that doesn't just fill space, but creates it.
