I've helped deliver many types of projects across the entertainment and commercial marketing spaces.

I'm particularly experienced with building and leading diverse teams on creative projects - both local and remote.

My favorite projects are those which blend creativity and technology in ways that are new, unique, and challenging to figure out... but incredibly rewarding once we do! I also love jumping "on the box" to create the work as much as I enjoy leading others towards the goal.

Plus I work very well with clients of all types, backgrounds, and personalities.
