I was cut from a whiskey soaked cloth in Harrisburg, PA. After failing out of West Virginia University and selling wedding gowns for a company that went bankrupt, I decided to give art school a go. Yada yada yada, here we are.
I started my career at Harrisburg and Philadelphia based Neiman Group. A little over 5 years later I took a job at Grey New York where I worked on a lot of great brands. But, predominately I worked on the “Breathe Happy” campaign for Febreze. I cannot even tell you how many unsuspecting people I’ve sent blindfolded into really sketchy places.
In 2015 I jumped to Anomaly NY and stayed for 7.5 years. Yes, you read that correctly. 7.5 years. I found a home there and gained immeasurable experiences and opportunities. For the first few years I worked across multiple brands. Duracell, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Sonos, Google and just about any brown liquor you can think of. In 2019, I was promoted to Creative Director and managed one of the largest accounts in the network, Ally Bank. But eventually, you just gotta shake shit up, ya know?
In Fall 2022, I joined the talented crew at Arts & Letters. At A&L, I am running multiple accounts (Tito’s, Google Photos, Google Search and Zola to name a few) with my copywriter partner since 2017, Vahbiz Engineer. Stay tuned.
I don’t like moving agencies a lot. I also don’t like bar crawls. I’d rather get a seat and settle in.
I’ve lived in NYC since 2011 and think it the greatest place on earth. (around a campfire or anywhere in Portugal being a close second and third) When I’m not advertising, I’m cooking, eating, drinking, wearing hats, seeing a show or traveling. Often at the same time. I strongly believe that dinner is therapy and sometimes, it’s all we have to keep us sane.
I live in Brooklyn with my hubs, Tim and my dog, Frog.
I don’t believe in praising the last person in the office every day. That’s wack. I want to work with people who know how to show up ready to focus and solve problems creatively and efficiently so they can go the fuck home sooner. Or to grab a drink. Or to a show. Or see their kids. Whatever makes you happy.
