Hello


I’m a creative leader with 20+ years of experience building brands and mentoring creative teams for the world’s best advertising agencies. Most recently I’ve been overseeing all things creative for the Google account at Arts & Letters, one of the fastest going agencies in the country. We employee 40+ people on the Google team which includes Google Photos, Search, Assistant, Sustainabily, Security and Privacy products. We produce all forms of media for Google, from broadcast brand films to social content. Prior to my current role I was a senior creative director at Media Arts Lab, Apple, Mullen LA, Deutsch LA and The Martin agency working on brands like Apple Music, iPhone, Acura, Target and Xfinity. I also freelance and do contract work for 72 and Sunny, 180, Apple, W+K, Deutsch, Translation, Ogilvy and Pretty Bird to name a few. I love design and got my start as a designer/art director at Goodby Silverstein & Partners. I enjoy creating work in all forms, especially smart engaging work that tells a story and makes sense for the brand.

I’m also extremely passionate about gun violence in America. I co-founded Artists Against Arms, a non-profit organization that brings creative people together to push and fight for safer common-sense gun laws. We work with all-kinds of artists from around the world creating art that speaks out against gun violence in America.

I’ve been recognized at One Show, Cannes, D&AD, FWA, Communications Arts, Creativity, Graphis, Advertising Age Campaign of the Year (+HP), Adweek's TV Campaign of the Year (Comcast) and Adweek's and Creativity's Agency of the Year (GSP). I also helped to opened the Mullen LA office with other talented people — and we received the Advertising Age #2 A-list agency of the year award our first year.
