I am an art-flavored, concept-led creative director who is overly obsessed with internet culture and an expert in earned media stunts, storytelling, and fan service. I make stuff people like to click.

My work has won Lions, Pencils, Cubes, LIAs, and Webbys. It’s been featured in Vogue, The New York Times, GMA, The Daily Show, my parents’ refrigerator, and the bottom of my trash can under my desk.

My skills as an art director include, but are not limited to, making the font real big so I don’t have to write as much.
