As a Creative Director and Senior Copywriter I’ve spent the last fifteen years turning big, bold ideas into award-winning campaigns for brands across the globe. 

I’ve helped break sales records in the Canadian automotive world, shaped luxury storytelling in Asia and pitched my way into new business wins across just about every category. I bring a strongly media-agnostic mindset, sharp strategic instincts and an obsessive respect for craft, while mentoring the next generation of creatives to raise the bar even higher.
