I was born in South Africa but raised in the cordial, southern glow of Atlanta, Georgia, which 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, Oregon 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.

I’ve been fortunate enough to work across a range of clients like: Verizon, Nike, Adidas, ESPN, Emirates & Delta Airlines, Amex, Citibank, Miller & Budweiser, and many more. And creative enough to gain recognition from The One Show, The Webby and Shorty Awards, the IAC Travel Awards, New York Festival, 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 Prospect Park or writing music with
my band ‘Das Moose,’ in Brooklyn.

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