General info
Creative Director /ACD/ Art Director / Designer
I'm an award winning CD/ACD/Senior Art Director/Designer with 25+ years experience in the advertising and creative industry.


I love creating ideas that tell the authentic story of a brand.


I’ve managed everything from multi-million dollar automotive projects to non-profit projects.


I have hands-on and management experience on projects that have included broadcast/video, experiential marketing, print, radio, outdoor, catalog design, direct, sales materials, social media and brand initiatives.


I've worked with In Design, Photoshop, Illustrator and Power Point.


I love working alongside writers, art directors, designers, planners, account people, producers, clients, directors, editors, photographers, illustrators and really good craft service people.


I’ve managed creative groups of 15-2. I enjoy mentoring and inspiring creatives to achieve the best they can while having fun being creative and delivering strategic, focused work.


I’ve interviewed, hired and written performance reviews and also signed off on vacations.


I was named an Employee of the Year at Campbell-Ewald.


I’m used to tight deadlines and meeting them.


I love doing a great job.


And I love advertising and design.
