MY STORY
Originally a trained fine artist and illustrator from NY who fell into the reality that desktop publishing and multimedia was the thing in 1989. I very quickly rose up the ranks of multimedia, advertising, and TV in NYC with all my School of Visual Arts colleagues and the help of my first real job at J.W.T. Multimedia division. What a blast of life it's been!
My love for brand storytelling along with the ability to ideate, problem-solve, creative direct, and my obsession with smart tech/innovation has allowed me to work for 30 years at multiple agencies and start-ups in advertising, entertainment, and high-end media in NYC, The Nederlands, and CT. Having a solid foundation in media and marketing, I have spent time in the trenches developing breakthrough, brand-building concepts, as a Creative Director, ACD, Brand Strategist, Ux Designer, and/or Senior Designer. Keeping a focus on emerging trends and harbors the ability to translate the zeitgeist into fresh concepts and ideas as a creative strategist.
