CREATIVE DIRECTION, BRANDING & COPYWRITING

ChopShop Samples

 
 
 

I’m a Swiss Army knife of creative marketing skills and a hands-on leader who is never above getting in the trenches with my team. 

I developed my chops in the creative world before diving into strategy, brand identity, digital and social media marketing, project management, partnerships, marketing planning, and operations as an in-house Marketing Director and agency-side Creative Director. 

Throughout my 15-year career, I’ve built a proven track record of defining insightful strategies, directing powerful campaigns, and leading internal teams and external partners.

What sets me apart? I drive people, projects, and processes to deliver their full potential. I know how small details impact the big picture. And I create with the customer journey in mind.

That’s how I evangelize and convert audiences across broadcast, video, web, email, social media, direct mail, display, outdoor, and more with strategies that build brand recognition and loyalty in competitive markets. 

In my free time, I’m a freelance editorial writer published in Forbes, Fortune, Architectural Digest… and Plano Magazine, where I’ve covered Chefs Tiffany Derry (Roots Chicken Shack, Top Chef), Uno Immanivong (Red Stix), and Salvatore ‘Tore’ Gisellu (Urban Crust).
