Bio
I'm a CD/AD who loves to eat, cook, drink, & make fun, 'disruptive', cool work, with cool people. Cool?
Philosophy
I'm a fan of getting to the 'best idea' as quickly, efficiently and effectively as possible. And by best idea, I mean an idea that is genuinely disruptive in its category, an idea that generates conversation and provokes some form of emotional response, and an idea that is–above all–effective for its Client.
