Hi. You found me.

I’m a New Yorker with a Midwestern heart and a serious case of FOMO. My right and left brain have a healthy working relationship and an intellectual curiosity that drives me to dig deep into every project I approach. I’ve been called strategic, hardworking, conceptual, easy going and once, “the velvet sledgehammer.” You can see that tension of grit and finesse in my work. I often partner with this talented art director. And, along with this whip-smart strategist, we can be hired together in the small-but-mighty, AI-integrated, ready-to-flex Canal Collective.
