WORK HISTORY

HELLO, A LITTLE ABOUT ME. I live for breakthrough creative, the kind that moves people and shifts perception. I’ve always championed human storytelling, blending strategic insight with bold imagination.

Most recently, as Executive Creative Director at LinkedIn, I led the brand’s evolution by driving innovative advertising strategies and crafting narratives that resonated deeply with members and customers alike. During my tenure, we produced the highest-performing and most recognized work in the company’s history, including an absurdist brand pivot for LinkedIn’s B2B offering and a more emotive refresh of the master brand platform. Along the journey, our team earned AdAge’s In-House Agency of the Year (2022), and LinkedIn rose to #29 on the Global Top Brand list.

My creative roots run deep. I began as an Art Director at Venables Bell & Partners and Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, where I learned the discipline of craft and the power of detail while shaping campaigns for brands like Audi, Intel, Discover Card, eBay, HBO, and Barclays Bank.


At the core of it all, I believe in the transformative power of storytelling because great brands don’t just sell, they reach out and connect.
