I’m a Creative Director/Writer who’s never understood the allure of moving up the ladder and not being able to still make the work, too. So I’ve kept my pencil sharpened (really fingers clicking on keys) doing work in all mediums: broadcast, print, digital and mobile.
You’ll see I’ve done a lot of drugs. And proud of it. Creating something great in DTC advertising is incredibly challenging. It can feel like doing the tango with a straightjacket on. And even with those multilayered restrictions, you’ve still got to make something that truly moves people—and the brand.
