Greetings! I've done everything from design, art direction, production art, color retouching, web design, digital finishing, project management, campaign management, litho press checks and have worked directly with several c-level executives both in-house and at client companies.
I'm a right-brained creative and a tech savvy philomath, which has allowed me to thrive in creative, marketing and tech management. Most of all I love working with people whether it be recruiting, training or directly managing people. I am a people person first and foremost that appreciates the variety of culture and human experiences everyone brings to the table.
I'm a natural problem solver be it directly project related or getting teams motivated. For over a decade I worked at an award winning campaigns for a litany of tech and entertainment clients such as Disney, Warner Bros, Netflix, Microsoft, Softbank, HBO, Activision Blizzard, Lionsgate and Apple to name a few.
I live in the IE and have commuted to LA and OC without issue as well as having worked remotely for several clients.
My hobbies include reading, learning new skills, technical research and writing. In fact, in 2019 I made 2nd round at Austin Film Festival – TV Drama pilot category.
