Hello
I’ve spent more than a decade crafting award-winning digital campaigns and social activations for some of the worlds biggest brands such as Google, adidas, Spotify, American Express, UNIQLO, Converse, Samsung, and many more. In that time I’ve been so lucky to have collaborated creatively on a variety of projects with people like Rihanna, Diplo, Jane Lynch, Karlie Kloss, Sofia Vergara, Snoop Dogg, and Maru the Cat (he’s huge in Japan).
In between solving business problems with technology and convincing celebrities to do crazy stuff online, my work has been featured in the Museum of the Moving Image, been the first brand campaign to get more than 1M Fans on Facebook (that’s right, remember Fans?), and released the fastest album to go platinum ever.
My work has been awarded Cannes Lions, Clio’s, The One Show, Webby’s, FWA, and more. What really drives me is working with amazing people, inspired brands, and enthusiastic clients to solve problems.
