I’m a Chicago-based Creative Lead with a BFA in Visual Communications from the University of Kansas. Midwestern to my core, I grew up in Salina, KS and started my advertising career at VML Kansas City, spending my formative years gaining creative experience on clients like Gatorade, Kellogg’s, Southwest Airlines and Wendy’s.
Most recently, I’ve been living in Bucktown and working as an Associate Creative Director at Leo (formerly Burnett) Chicago with my Copywriter partner, Francis LaBelle, navigating adventures in advertising as both freelancers and full-timers.
I’ve been in the industry for 17 years and I am certain the best work comes when the vision is shared through collaborative integrity and disciplined effort. Teamwork makes the DREAM work and I’ve been a team-player from the beginning. Here's my résumé. Let’s connect!
