Multi channel creative director with a focus on brand activation, strategy and original content.

I currently work at Feral as Executive Creative Director and Partner. I lead creative for our small Brooklyn office which has me leading new business, creative strategy and day-to-day project execution. I partner with Poppy Gordon, our founder on nearly every aspect of running a small shop.

Prior to Feral, I worked at Digitas as VP, Group Creative Director having serviced many Fortune 100 companies including Comcast, Ebay, L’Oreal, American Express and more.  

Most notably, I co-created UNSTAGED for American Express. A first-of-its-kind music series featuring iconic musicians paired with legendary film directors. From Arcade Fire and Coldplay to Jonathan Demme and Spike Lee, the series hosted the biggest names in film and music. UNSTAGED earned unprecedented industry acclaim during its near 7 year run and set the bar for branded entertainment. In 2013 our collaboration with David Lynch and Duran Duran screened at the MOMA, and in 2015 the program was honored with an Emmy Award for its work with Taylor Swift. It was a dream job, one that's combined my passion of film and music with technology and advertising.

Prior to Digitas, I worked for FCB and other great agencies gaining experience on a number of global brands. But my most impressionable moments have come from my first job at Ogilvy, back when it was on the corner of 49th & 8th and Rick Boyko ran the place. It was there I cut my teeth on great campaigns for IBM and learned how to work my ass off. Many talented people there, many of whom have remained my great friends, inspired and challenged me to keep up with their great work. 

At my core, i’m a creator, and I believe there should be a usefulness to the things we make. I thrive on insightful data inspiring ideas and leveraging technology to make them. I take pride in never losing sight of humans and real human behaviors being at the center of why we make things. Without it we’re just making noise.
