I’m not a WIZARD, rockstar or unicorn.

I’m even better—because I’m real.

I'm prolific, audacious, versatile and energetic, but not in an annoying way. I’m sitcom-funny, a rabble-rouser, and super loyal to people and causes (case in point, I was a Cubs fan pre-2016). 

I'm a highly conceptual and collaborative creative who's passionate about ideating and executing unforgettable, impactful work.

I'd also like to help save the world, so if you're with a non-profit looking for some creative help, feel free to send me a message! I’ve done work with Period.org (one of my favorites is the Period Piece PSAs campaign) and I’m a volunteer creative and organizer with HOUSE.

In my free time, I mentor with organizations like The G.R.O.W.T.H. Initiative (through 100 Roses From Concrete) and WriteGirl. If you’re trying to break into advertising or are earlier on in your career, I’m always up for a virtual coffee (hit me up on LinkedIn).

Some categories I have experience with include CPG, QSR, food, travel & tourism, hospitality, non-profit, telecom, tech, financial services, gaming, retail, vice and plenty of new business.
