Hey. Howdy. Hello.

I’m a transplant from Canada’s West Coast, bringing with me over fifteen years experience as a visual communicator and cracker of tough nuts. I’ve built a portfolio that spans advertising, design, identity development, 3D branded experiences and—for a day—puppeteering. Oh, and I trained to be an architect, but that’s a whole other conversation.

I develop insightful ideas with strong strategic focus and emotional pull. I’m irreverent, collaborative and love taking things apart to learn how they tick. Just don’t ask me to talk about myself in the third-person. Or draw hands.

I’ve had my work recognized by The CMAs, Cassies, Clios, ADCCs and Communication Arts, and my feature-length branded film has screened at more than a dozen film festivals worldwide.
