AW SHUCKS...
Wow, you actually wanna know "About Me"?? Well the most important lesson I've probably learned being in the agency biz over 24 years is to keep it short. So here goes...
I am a copywriter-turned-art director that has always been intrigued about the sneaky power of design. I feel pushing a brand's graphic identity can singlehandedly add value in the eyes of consumers.
And no matter what, I feel it's most important to swim into the weeds for an insight first, then design/write/create second. Because I'm always after a final product that actually solves problems for clients.
I've worked in agencies of all different sizes, on brands and budgets of all different sizes. I've been lucky enough to get recognized by Graphis, Luerzer's Archive, National Addy's, AdWeek Best Spots, been named a Cannes Film finalist, National Effie finalist, and won Higher Education Awards Best of Show in two consecutive years.
But more than anything, I like working with people that have the same goals as I do... making brands look pretty and making the best visceral impression as possible.
I was born and raised in Wisconsin, and love it from top to bottom. Enjoy coaching youth sports, building stuff, fixing stuff, cooking stuff, and making people smile.
