I'm a creative director, writer and director that's worked both full-time and freelance for tech companies, global ad agencies, startups, and production companies in New York, London, San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Boulder, Seattle and Los Angeles.
I’m currently working with in-house and agency teams as a freelance CD and writer. I also work as a director on film projects via Lewis & Hayes.
From 2018-2020, I was a Creative Lead at Google in San Francisco, shaping new formats and innovation in documentary storytelling for Brand Studio. Prior to that, I was a Creative Lead at Google Creative Lab in London, a collective of designers, writers, filmmakers and technologists who tell stories and create products and experiences for Google.
My main focus is creating human-centered work - from strategy to execution - that connects brands to their users in authentic, entertaining and meaningful ways. I’m passionate about (and highly experienced at) creating thought-provoking storytelling that elevates underrepresented voices, pushes boundaries, and breaks stereotypes - without sacrificing a brand’s voice and values.
Along the way, I’ve picked up awards from The Webbys, The One Show, Cannes, Art Directors Club and D&AD as well as media coverage in publications such as Communication Arts, WNW Magazine, Adweek, Lurzers Archive, and The New Yorker.
