I’ve worked for some of the most high profile and recognizable brands in the world such as Nike, Apple, and Microsoft. Through my career, I’ve always had a focus on the customer and the experience. I find equal importance in the product, the content, and the experience. I strive to produce a simple, fun, and captivating experience.
I’ve worked in-house and on the agency side. I’ve produced and managed projects for B2B and B2C, digital, TV, DM, and retail. No matter what project I’m working on, I obsess about the process, the quality, and the value. I don’t stop until I have compelling and enriching experiences.
I have a breadth of experience and am always looking to learn. As a leader, I feel it is my responsibility to understand all the functions of my team and be able to communicate and collaborate effectively and in a way that allows the team to challenge each other to produce at the highest quality. I’m passionate about the work I do and bring that passion with me everywhere.
