I was born in South Africa but raised in the cordial, southern glow of Atlanta, Georgia. This may explain my affinity for sweet tea and giraffes.

Jokes aside, there’s nothing I love more than defining brands through strategically driven creative ideas. From Atlanta to Portland and New York, I’ve partnered with global brands, agencies, boutique clients and a village of talented people to craft killer work that drives results.

As a Creative Director and copywriter, I’ve led teams to deliver award-winning work across social, digital, film, experiential, retail, print and AI. And when it comes to production, I love rolling up my sleeves and taking a campaign from idea to full on execution.

I’ve been fortunate enough to work with a range of clients like Verizon, Nike, Adidas, ESPN, Emirates & Delta Airlines, Amex, Citibank, Miller & Budweiser, HP and many more. I’ve also been creative enough to be recognized by The One Show, The Webby and Shorty Awards, the IAC Travel Awards, New York Advertising Festivals and the Art Directors Club (even though I'm a writer).

Most recently, I led the Integrated Creative Marketing team at Verizon. And this weekend you can probably find me coaching youth sports in Park Slope or writing music with my band ‘Das Moöse,’ in Brooklyn.

Please reach out if you want to talk shop, grab coffee or ride giraffes.
