I’m a Chicago native with over 20 years of experience leading corporate creative projects, business development initiatives, and spearheading partnership management programs for high value clients in the San Francisco Bay Area / Silicon Valley. I've worked with Apple, Inc., Fortune 500 companies, large and boutique ad agencies, and numerous production companies. Throughout my career, I’ve developed strong relationships with executive teams globally by blending curiosity and respect for cultural norms with deep enthusiasm for fresh ideas and effective marketing through shrewd communication.I’ve also successfully developed my own original independent creative projects, including an award-winning digital / live sketch comedy series, a documentary feature film, and a social commentary horror feature film that is currently seeking production and distribution partners. My creative work has been repped by 3Arts, WhoHaha, Portal A, and now Rising Tides Films. Whether I’m riffing on ad campaigns, writing and performing for stage and screen, facilitating creative brainstorms, designing professional development courses for top brands, or pitching new work, I know that the magic of great partnerships and great audience experiences lies in four things: curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and consistency. My passion for people and my eagerness to tackle every challenge using those four elements is the foundation of every achievement I've had in my career, and I’d love to connect with other people and organizations focused on delivering innovative and delightful experiences both in-house and for their customers!
