Hello.

I am a freelance Creative Director/Copywriter based in Portland, OR. Prior to freelancing, I was at Wieden+Kennedy Portland for 10 years as a Copywriter turned Creative Director. There, I worked on brands such as Nike, Coca-Cola, Old Spice, Kraft, Target, P&G, Samsung, American Express, KFC, Amazon Studios, Instagram, Autodesk, Fisher-Price and a bunch of stuff I can't really talk about because I signed an NDA.

My work has won several major awards and has been written up in publications such as TIME, People, Creativity, Adweek, Fast Company, The Huffington Post, GQ, Forbes, Shoot, Esquire, Teen Vogue, Business Insider, Cosmopolitan, USA Today, Mashable, SNL Weekend Update (not really a publication, but you get the idea) and Perez Hilton's dog's blog (true story.)

I like olives. 

I am a terrible skier.
