I’m a Chicago-based Art Director and Geriatric Millennial™ with a BFA from the University of Kansas. I started my ad career at VML Kansas City during the tail-end of the Great Recession. I spent my formative years (and then some) in KC, working on a variety of different accounts with incredibly talented people. Before graphic design and advertising, I was a student athlete. Team values are important to me, and I find that the best work comes when vision is shared and the team dynamic is fun … because if we ain’t laughin’ (you get it). Teamwork makes the DREAM work.
Most recently, I’ve been working as an Associate Creative Director at Leo (formerly Burnett) Chicago with my partner, Francis LaBelle, navigating adventures in advertising as both freelancers and full-timers. Here's my résumé. Let’s connect!
