Experience

  • 2011-2012

    Art Director at Team One, Los Angeles.

  • 2010

    Freelance Art Director in Los Angeles. Most of 2010 was spent freelancing at Chiat, where I worked on the Pepsi account. Other agencies include One/X, Ignited, Neighbor, and Stopp Interactive. Brands include Jamba Juice, Zico Coconut Water, Konami, and Disney.

  • January 2007 - February 2010

    Art Director at Leo Burnett. I specialize in creating advertising campaign ideas and extending those campaigns into media that best fits the message and target--via television, online ads, microsites, print or out-of-home executions. I entered advertising through the digital space, but in my time at Burnett I've had opportunities to work in many different kinds of media--an experience I find to be liberating and inspiring.

    I find the period of time between creative briefing and execution to be the most exciting. I enjoy working within a strategy to devise creative platforms onto which campaign ideas are built. I like being a member of a team. Clients include: Nintendo, US Army, Cadillac, Capital One, Kellogg's, Purina, Procter & Gamble, Metromix.

  • January 2003 - January 2007

    Interactive Art Director at ARC Worldwide. At ARC I worked on everything from gigantic interactive experiences like TheBar.com and GoArmy.com to concise and effective online ads for Cadillac, GM, Procter and Gamble and Kellogg's.

Mystery Titles

I'm working on a top secret project and I can't share all the details yet, but some of the design is shaping up and it should be pretty cool. Here are some title/super frames:

The Highlands

The Higlands is a new private school in Los Angeles.  They draw from their Scottish heritage to give students a unique education that will produce globally-aware adults.  I designed logo options for them that communicate their Scottish roots and emphasize a clasical curriculum.

Fiji Branding

As part of a pitch, we re-branded the island of Fiji's department of tourism.  Saddled with a sub-par line ("Come get some happy"), we created a logo and some in-airport ads that will evoke some smiles.
