WRITER / CREATIVE DIRECTOR

About

Yes, that’s my real hair. Yes, the bolo tie is attached to the shirt. And yes, I’m freelance now.

I’m a freelance creative director, writer, and idea person based in New York.

In my last full-time job as a CD at Apple, I led full-funnel campaigns for products like Apple Arcade, Apple Pay, Apple Card, the Apple TV App and the App Store. I’ve been lucky enough to work in advertising for 20 years at agencies, production companies, and in-house creative departments with some really great humans.

I care about people and projects a lot. My partner once called me a perfectly-sized tornado and, in context, it was really sweet.
