Welcome, take a look around

Over the past 12 years, I’ve helped launch and grow businesses as a creative with a passion for brand development and strategy. I’m currently working with Bain & Company revamping new brands entering Bain as part of their Engine2 arm.

I’ve advised influential tech startups on content production, produced national commercial spots airing on NBC Sports and ESPN, expanded service offerings, was CMO for a B2B tech startup growing from 10 > 1000+ clients (capturing 10% of its industry), and directed, wrote, and co-produced a short debuting at Cannes Film Festival.

Upon graduating with a film degree, I began creating commercial content and shorts, which soon branched into full creative direction. My love for art and video developed into an entrepreneurial drive to build brands through storytelling.
