Creative
Director
I’m a CD who’s spent the last two decades shaping stories for brands that range from scrappy startups to the people who basically run the internet.
Officially, my job is to define the creative vision and lead teams to bring it to life. Unofficially, it’s part ringmaster, part translator, part “why don’t we try it this way?” guy. I pull from a past life in stand-up and years spent in front of a camera, which means I know how to coax honest performances (and occasionally rescue awkward ones).
I’ve led teams, pitched big ideas, led product launches, live events, and full-scale branding efforts, and crafted content for LinkedIn, Google, Cisco, Adobe, Intel, eBay, and a few Fortune 500 execs who really needed better speeches.

Cisco - “Zydeco”
Why can’t the phone on my desk be as smart as the one in my pocket. This humorous, quirky video shows how a new class of devices from Cisco comes to market.
Live Events
Nothing beats live events: product launches, customer gatherings, and trade shows where like-minded people feed off each
other’s energy and spark new ideas. It’s caffeine without the coffee: one room, big buzz, and suddenly anything feels possible.
Branding
Branding gives your business soul and humanizes it, making it relatable and accessible to ordinary people. It bridges emotional connections.
Print is as relevant as ever. It’s tactile, bold, and impossible to scroll past. Pages hold ideas, spark inspiration, and make brands unforgettable.
Presentation Graphics
PowerPoint doesn’t have to be awful. Honest. It’s just another tool to tell your story visually.
A great tagline communicates a lot using very few words. It captures the essence of the value you provide to your customer in a concise, pithy phrase or sentence.
