FEATURED WORK
Here's a few projects I enjoyed working on over the last few years reflecting 360° campaigns, in-store/retail, events, digital, print and creative operations docs.
ABOUT ME
Making things. Making things happen.
Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, during the pursuit of my BFA, I bought a [now hilariously antiquated] book called“Teach Yourself HTML.” It was nearly 1,100 pages, weighed as much as a toddler and was possibly the least stimulating piece of literature I’ve read (though, in hindsight, the PMBOK 6th Edition might be tied). Over the course of two weekends, I read the book from cover to cover and then proceeded to hand code my first website that contained tables, CSS, rollovers and all of the state-of-the-art goodies that HTML 3 could offer. My friends were surprised (or more likely, baffled), that I actually managed to get it online AND function properly.
This experience taught me several things. First, I was definitely NOT destined for software engineering greatness, but I was able to understand it on a fundamental level. Second, and most importantly, it opened the door high-lighting my love for continuous learning and curiosities about how things or systems are produced and/or could potentially operate.
For nearly 15 years this has propelled me. I’ve made a career out of one or a combination of the following: learning how to make things, making things happen or making things happen better. And I really like what I do.
Summed up, I'm an experienced hybrid creative ops leader and producer who enjoys sitting at the intersection of smart marketing/advertising business acumen and thoughtful creative visionaries, with hopes of assisting them execute more efficiently to produce beyond the stakeholder's wildest expectations.
Hailing from NYC, I'm currently based in Seattle, WA and open to travel and/or hybrid/remote roles. I'm also available for contract/freelance work. While I'll always place priority on doing great work for or with great people, opportunities involving 360° campaigns, experiential and research & design/prototyping gigs will pique my interest.
In my free time, I can be found tinkering around the house, hanging with my perpetually outstanding family, strumming a guitar or herding my two rambunctious, but adorable tuxedo cats.
