I’m a Director,

Creative Director

& Art Director.

With over 15 years on the agency side, my background in art direction has naturally shaped the way I direct. Along the way I’ve worked with brands like Volkswagen, Netflix, Apple, LinkedIn, and Sleeman, and that experience has pushed me toward a style that’s both conceptual and visually intentional. I like building metaphorical worlds and using a dry, deadpan tone to let the comedy land naturally.

Outside of directing and coming up with campaign ideas, you can probably find me illustrating or watching Simpsons re-runs (specifically seasons 1-10).
