Creative Director, Writer, Director, and Producer with 20 years of experience leading high-performing teams, growing brands, and delivering stories that inspire audiences and drive measurable business growth.As a small business owner and creative leader, I’ve built and scaled teams that deliver full-service marketing, video production, and brand strategy from concept to completion. My work spans broadcast, digital, and social for Fortune 500 and emerging brands, including Sharpie, Greenworks, Lowe’s, and The Home Depot, producing national campaigns and digital-first content that elevate engagement and brand visibility.I bring a unique hybrid background that combines creative vision with operational discipline—balancing storytelling, direction, and production leadership with data-driven marketing and business strategy. Whether managing a 30-person department or running my own production company, I focus on uniting creativity with measurable results.Highly adaptable and forward-thinking, I actively advise and implement AI-driven tools and processes across creative, operational, and strategic areas. My goal is to use technology not to replace creativity, but to enhance it—streamlining workflows, improving insight, and expanding what’s possible in storytelling and brand communication.I’m especially drawn to opportunities where creative excellence meets technology—FinTech, SaaS, and tech-enabled brands looking to communicate complex ideas in authentic and visually compelling ways.Proudly born in Detroit, Michigan, and now thriving in Austin, Texas, I bring both a blue-collar work ethic and an entrepreneurial spirit to everything I do.Key strengths include:• Storytelling across film, digital, and branded content• Creative leadership and team development• Campaign strategy and performance marketing• Entrepreneurship and full-scale production management• Adaptability and AI integration strategy• Expertise in HubSpot, Adobe Creative Suite, and Google Ads/AnalyticsLet’s connect—I’m always open to collaborating on creative initiatives that combine storytelling, strategy, and innovation to make a lasting impact.
