SUMMARY
I'm an awarded creative leader who has worked on three continents, creating significant campaigns in each one. I have presented my work to the chairman of Fortune 500 companies and knew what it takes to sell an idea as well as think of it.
My career has led me to work in both traditional and digital agencies giving me a well-rounded perspective on what makes an effective multi-media brand campaign.
While in my spare time I have built up a following of 440,000 plus on Pinterest, which shows if nothing else that I understand how social works.
