In what was a bizarre quarter life crisis, I joined the in-house creative agency of a Fortune 100 financial mega corporation — but I still wear ripped jeans that are far too tight for my age!At Capital One, I led major campaigns that touched everything from broadcast and YouTube ads to social and web content to UX copywriting to emails and OOH stuff. I played a major role in Capital One's tech transformation, helping launch their chatbot, Eno, and partnering with the likes of Apple, Google, PayPal, and Twitch. I wrote and even creative directed major ads and led teams in producing highly visible content for nearly every credit card in Capital One's portfolio, revamped many of Capital One's web properties, navigated the crazy complexity of corporate bureaucracy and financial industry regulation, and still produced fun work that has gotten hundreds of millions of impressions.I crawled my way up from doing mundane internal comms stuff to leading the biggest shit you can do as an in-house creative at Capital One, and I'm pretty proud of that.

Remember that time when North Korea hacked Sony because they were offended by that Seth Rogan/James Franco movie "The Interview" that has Kim Jong-Un getting blown up while Katy Perry's "Firework" plays? And then Sony dropped it, and no one would release it — but then some fledgeling startup streamed it? Yeah. I was the art director there. The only creative there, actually. Weird time. There was an iPad on a Segway that would roll around the office for some head dude who lived in Seattle, and his face would just roll up on a Segway behind you while you were working and check in on you. It was like living in an episode of Silicon Valley.Anyways, did a lot of experience design, art directed a lot of landing pages and full funnel stuff for different movies and TV shows.Brands: HBO, Sony, Lionsgate, MGM, all the major studios. Too many to list.

Wrote copy for the largest independent digital agency in the United States.Side note, Tempur-Pedic mattresses. Imagine spending all day at work writing endless copy about comfy mattresses, falling asleep, how good sleep is, sleepity sleepy sleep. Having to somehow stay awake because you're at work, but all you're doing is thinking and writing about sleep. After doing that for years, I have the mental willpower to do anything.

I really just included this on LinkedIn to tell you that I worked on a commercial for Party City where we had a toddler in a Spiderman costume walking on a rotating treadmill, and he made it a full 5 seconds before explosively barfing through his mask. It was like that SNL skit where Will Ferrell is singing Christmas songs and the platform is spinning too fast, except the platform is also a treadmill and Will Ferrell is a toddler in a Spiderman costume and the barf is REAL.I see it every time I close my eyes.
