I started We Are Gate to engage with clients, brands, and marketing opportunities whether big or small. Our fluid model allows us to scale dynamically based on client needs, leveraging the right partnerships at the right time without the excess overhead that translates into client costs.Our work has included creating Harley-Davidson Road House Customs – a lifestyle food brand we took from original concept to Walmart shelves across North America. We’ve rebranded Mama Rosa’s Pizza and launched several other protein products into Costco, Walmart, Kroger, Sam’s Club and more. And we’ve helped Playworld Systems (an amazing playground company in Lewisburg, PA) build their brand while promoting the idea that our kids benefit from outdoor play … spreading the word through videos, white papers and catalogs. We also work with agencies, integrating with their creative teams to boost their impact on national accounts.

In this role, I was a freelance art director and took anything from brand development to business initiatives. I helped agencies and private companies throughout Central PA.
