“When I grow up I want to be an inventor.”
That's what I told everyone when I was a kid. I loved coming up with ideas. Making things that never existed before. That feeling of creation meant everything to me.
It still does.
As a Creative Director with over 15 years of experience, I've helped launch new products, create campaigns that break through culture, and build teams of people who love making great work. Work that connects with people, solves real challenges, and actually matters.
The truth is, I'm still that kid. Still chasing ideas. Still believing in the power of making something new.
I became an inventor. Just in a way I never expected.
Now I'm looking for the next great problem to solve, the next team to build, the next idea worth chasing full time or project by project.
