Nice to meet you.

I’m a freelance creative director in San Francisco who’s been fortunate to work for some pretty great clients and agencies. At AKQA San Francisco I led innovative and award-winning digital marketing efforts for clients like Audi of America, Nike, Kraft, and Visa. I create advertising, branding, and storytelling across all media. No matter the project, my goal is to do great work.

Using AI to help brands be more relevant in social.

As a freelancer at Deloitte Digital/Heat, I helped create a successful case study for Footaction using a recently-acquired predictive AI company to predict trends to help brands be more relevant in social. We had a 72 hour creative process to create paid social posts and online ads based on AI predictions to capitalize on the hottest conversations. It was so successful, we did it for other clients.

Creating a brand, helping a community.

The biggest project of my career becomes the most rewarding. An old bank building abandoned since the S&L Crisis of the '80's presented an opportunity for being creative with not only a small budget for its restoration but also space planning and historical adaptive reuse. It was important that the building become a place for the community to enjoy, as well as a destination for the Bay Area and beyond.

Sometimes you don’t need big clients or even a client.

Sometimes great pro bono work comes from working with a non-profit and sometimes it just happens. There were a lot of opportunities through the years and these are a few that I really like.
