I’m a San Francisco-based creative director who writes copy and manages a startlingly talented team of creatives. I've been known to shuffle text and pixels around for Uber, Meta, LinkedIn, Affirm, Cummins, Cox, and TABASCO.
I’m looking for…
A vibrant company that makes cool things that everyone in the organization can take pride in. An organization that believes in open, honest communication, free from ego.
I’m used to…
Diving in. Speaking up. Starting from scratch. Writing with empathy. Pushing work. Leading presentations. Onboarding and nurturing creatives. Partnering with designers, crews, freelancers, talent, and clients.
You’ll get…
A writer experienced in editorial and advertising. A listener and observer who believes the best angle is always authenticity. Ideas. Kindness and patience.
I’m a hands-on leader who likes to Actually Write™, so whether you need a Senior Writer, Associate Creative Director, or a Creative Director, I’m open to chat!
