I’m an award-winning Creative Director who blends strategy and storytelling to build brands (and teams) that deliver real business results.

At Babbel, I built the company’s first in-house creative team with design, video, and copy capabilities. Through brand-focused performance marketing we helped grow revenue from $30MM to $150MM while boosting brand awareness to 76%.

I’ve been at top NYC ad agencies, but most notably I spent 8 years working on BMW. I helped grow it from a small digital-focused piece of business to the agency’s largest account with global work that spanned TV, CRM, digital, social and retail. I led a team of 15 creatives that maintained the BMW USA website, oversaw product launches, did work that won awards and bonded over the fact that none of us owned cars. 

I also worked as a project manager at Bose where I managed product launches for the home entertainment division. And as a marketing associate at the Portland Power, a women’s pro basketball team, I created marketing collateral, answered calls from disgruntled ticket holders, picked players up at the airport and wished I was 5 inches taller.

After working with startups, global brands, and scrappy teams, I’ve learned that breakthrough creative is rooted in strategy, trust, and problem-solving done well. I build hardworking, fun teams people want to join and champion ideas that deliver results.
