Hi there.
Conceptual Art Director with gargantuan ideas
Work is led by logic.
Artistry
Clean aesthetic. The devil’s in the details.
When I'm upset, I like to write very thorough, beautifully crafted emails with bullet points, type hierarchy and sub-headings to help others understand said upset-ness. I like it when someone compliments my emails writing skills.
I also write poetry and rants.
Relatable/Engaging/Memorable Advertising
People forget what we said, but not how we made them feel.
I benchmark great ads by whether or not they made me ugly cry.
In my spare time
I take far too many pictures of my dog.
Always learning and re-learning software to prevent Old Fart Syndrome.
Reading Harry Potter for the n’th time, where 'n' stands for not open to judgment.
