I begin my journey not just leading the way for our clients, but also for the agency as a whole. This may be the most exciting part of my career thus far. Off we go...

I'm a creative lead on all of our DTE business. I also participate in creative strategy for clients and new business alike. In the last (almost) 7 years, I'm proud of the new campaigns created for both long-standing and new clients alike. I work with a great team and do my best to keep the awesome level around 11.

My own personal brand. I love sitting around a good fire, laughing and sharing stories. It's where you're free to think and create. For all my freelance clients and partners, there's a camp chair waiting for you.

I jumped at the opportunity to increase my digital skills even more with this role. I’m a key interactive designer on our Whirlpool, Kitchen Aid and University of Michigan-Dearborn accounts. In my first month, I designed proline.kitchenaid.com. More recently, I have been designated a key email designer/builder/strategist for the above mentioned brands, as well as contributing to social media projects for HushPuppies. I also helped propel the Whirlpool brands into the responsive email realm. A great couple years with a great group of creatives.

I led most email and print CRM for Ford Customer Service Division, Ford Parts Wholesaling and FordParts.com. I was key in developing the Ford Owner first-year email curriculum. I was also involved on Ford nameplate brands, Scotts Miracle Grow, Ford Credit and new business. If that wasn’t enough, I also guided the work of 2 creative teams and an art director. Outside my 9-5, I had my own clients. These projects range from web design, email campaigns and print work to complete brand development for upstart companies.

After some time as a Jr. AD, I led a team of 3 Art Directors on Chevy Retail Print projects. My group executed all of the Chevy newsprint advertising for every region in the country. I was responsible for the quality of final creative, working closely with account & production and managing the team’s daily workflow. I was also involved in many other brand projects in addition to my print responsibilities.When I advanced into the National Chevy Truck group, I worked with my first great creative director, who helped me recognizing the difference between and idea and an execution. I was highly involved in the 2007 Avalanche and 2007 Silverado launch campaigns. I produced the 2008 Chevy Commercial Truck campaign as well as many other original print and out-of-home executions. During this time, I was introduced to much more client contact which helped hone my presentation skills to a deadly point. On the national Chevy nameplate team, I worked on concepts for all Chevy vehicle categories. I continued to advance my web based thinking and execution skills. I also worked hard to expand non-traditional thinking and mediums into my executions.
