Birth to Three

I think in systems.
I execute in details.

I've spent 20 years building brands people remember and leading teams that do the best work of their careers. My background spans agency and in-house, from Integer Group's Fortune 100 accounts to the Global Creative Director seat at Kaplan.

I lead with conviction and stay hands-on. I write, I art direct, I present to the C-suite and then open Figma and fix the kerning myself.
