I am a creative director, copywriter, digital native, armchair anthropologist and strategic thinker. I believe in creating resonant voices for brands and broadcasting them across as many and as varied channels as possible. I strive to create experiences that lastWe no longer talk at people or speak to masses with a megaphone - we must earn their eyes and ears and remember now they own the brand. We are just messengers.
