I've been fortunate to work with some great people and some amazing brands. My experience started as a young art director in the era of craft in early 90s San Francisco advertising, to later being a leader on award-winning digital marketing for such clients as Audi of America, Nike, Kraft, and Visa. That experience gives me a unique perspective on advertising, design, marketing, branding and content across all media. I helped grow the AKQA office in San Francisco from 40 to over 400 during my time there and now freelance for brands, agencies, and startups. No matter the project, my goal is to do great work.
