I'm an award-winning creative director with 15 years experience in the advertising and television industries. An excellent organizer, project leader and team builder with a deep understanding of successful branding and marketing strategies. Adept at overseeing and collaborating with writers, designers, animators, and musicians to foster groundbreaking creative solutions. Excellent communicator, problem solver, and detail-oriented manager.

Having hands-on experience in multiple disciplines and a discerning eye for talent and ability, support and enhance my leadership and management roles. My skills as a director, illustrator, designer, animator, musician, were developed over the years to enhance my storytelling ability. I want to help you tell your stories.

I AM NOT AN EXPERT OR A GURU, BUT I KNOW A LOT OF THINGS ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS.

I've always been as interested in knowing about the far reaches of the underground. Many years of immersion in underground and pop culture ( Street Art, Urban Vinyl, Gaming, Animation, Music and more ) have given me a unique understanding of and affinity for youth brands. Subcultures eventually become the next big thing in pop culture. This is an important aspect of what makes my point of view and voice unique. Being entrepreneurial and running several businesses I've had to be resourceful and learn/perform multiple roles outside of my core skill set as a creative. The ability to research and learn is why I have such broad interests and skills. I love to learn new things and I'm not afraid to do it.

The ability to find and recognize talent and abilities in others, strengths as well as weaknesses. Finding the right talent for a job and a creative team. I always thought everyone could do this but discovered that this was actually a skill.

I'm doing my backup career now. I've discovered I need a backup of my backup.
