Creative director by day. Sci-fi author at night.
I lead world-class teams to push the boundaries of craft and create compelling one-of-a-kind brand experiences that move the hearts and minds of audiences. My alter-ego is a speculative science fiction writer on a mission to explore the mysteries of the multiverse.
I approach each project with an investigative eye for how it supports the overarching purpose of a brand, then strive to deliver unexpected creative strategies, content and experiences to engage consumers and keep the story moving forward.
Sorta like what Kevin Feige does, except for brands.
Based in Chicago, Iβm just a quick hop to NYC, a skip to DC, a jump to the West Coast and a short leap to the rest of world.
