ABOUT
I'm a maker-creative director; a conceptor, copywriter, and sometimes co-technologist on every portfolio project.

I’M GOOD AT
I’m not perfect, but I’m a natural writer. It’s my thing, and I’m lucky to have found it. I can make boring things interesting, and help resuscitate brands on the cusp of bitter death. I also have a knack for pitching, and have made lots of money for my employers over the years. There are worse things.
