Associate Creative Director & Senior Copywriter
Raleigh/Durham, NC
I’ve been lucky enough to work with top brands and agencies including Procter & Gamble, DIRECTV, EarthLink, Hain Celestials, Murad, Timberland, LORAC makeup, Interbrand and Resource Interactive. I’ve been tapped as a brand strategist, naming consultant, and brand voice expert to launch hot new brands including SpaRitual and MUD Make-up, revitalize lines like Jane Iredale, Clairol and Zia Basics, and name everything from new technology products to Oscar-nominated movies.

At heart, I’m a storyteller. My background as a Hollywood studio exec, screenwriter and award-winning fiction writer comes in handy: I understand how to invent stories and language that ignite an authentic emotional connection with an audience – and deliver quantitative results.

As digital creative director on P&G’s global hair color brands, my agency team increased Facebook fans 944% from 27,000 to 255,000 in just 4 days, winning best-in-class citations from Facebook. I also led the creative concepting and design of Clairol’s and Wella Koleston’s successful new global websites.

Don’t let my address keep you from calling. Have MacBook Pro, will travel.
