Experience

1. Owner Creative Director

   Nov 2011 — Present · Pittsburgh, PA, US

   I\'ve been lucky enough to have some really great jobs at some really great companies, and also lucky to have been taught by some truly incredible people - people who have made it possible for me to now stand on my own two feet. So far, as a freelancer, I have learned a couple of things - that it\'s hard to work a 13-hour day on the wifi at Panera, and that I really should have someone take a quick look at the math on my invoices before I send them out. I have also learned that what I love most about this business is the people, and the ideas, and that no matter where I go, they are always with me. I have learned that you can never have enough pairs of stretch pants and that if you are going to network over a series of lunches, it\'s a good idea to get salads or even the stretch pants might no longer fit.
