HELLLLOOOOO!

SOME WORDS ABOUT ME. First off, I don't know which is more weird: talking about yourself in the 3rd person on your own website or tooting your own horn for a whole page with "I this" "I that."  Both are cringeworthy, but I'm going to go with saying "I" and try to keep it short and sweet. I was born in Florida (don't judge), moved to Asheville, North Carolina for my formative years, was groomed for the ad world at the Adcenter (now Brandcenter), and then made a ton of work with great people in 15+ years at various NYC agencies. I’m now in the Bay area, freelancing while I figure out my next move. If you’re thinking of hiring me here’s the cliff notes: I am all about the work work work, am very organized (expert juggler), love to make food (on-site? Yes, please!). I still believe the idea is everything and can be anything as long as it’s something. I like to make “somethings” that are funny, smart, relatable, and most of all enjoyable.
