Creative Director

lululemon

I've been a bit of a Swiss Army Knife for lululemon. I've acted as a bridge between strategy and creative to help articulate the brand's overall positioning as they take aim at some big, humongous goals. I've been a creative lead on several global marketing campaigns and most recently helped launch them into a completely new category (lululemon selfcare). The work's been great but it doesn't hold a candle to the amazing people the brand attracts and grows. Free fitness classes don't hurt either.

Creative Lead/Copywriter

Arrivals + Departures

Worked closely with the creative and strategic leadership teams to create brand campaigns for their most important clients.

Freelance Associate Creative Director

Grumo Media

During my time at Grumo Media we helped start-ups all over the world, and a handful of Fortune 500 companies, tell their stories in the form of fun, playful animated videos. These videos played a small role in helping so many genius founders raise over a billon (raises pinky to mouth) dollars collectively.

Cossette Communication-Marketing

Copywriter

I lead talks and workshops on professional creative development.

This journey started with me writing and then self-publishing the book, A Self-Help Guide for Copywriters, one many call a "modern classic".

In the last few years, I've given talks to several of the world's best creative, schools, ad agencies and brands (lululemon, Mattel, North Face, Arla Foods, Nutrafol, Whirlpool and more).

In 2024 alone, I've been a keynote speaker at CopyCon, the American Writers and Artists Institute, the Frontier Summit, and several others.

My online course, Writing Under Pressure has been taken by over 800+ creatives from the world's top brands and agencies.
