about
After 16 fantastic years as an agency creative, I traded in Key Lime Martini’s at the Viceroy for sticky hands and oatmeal kisses. 6 months later,
I started out on my own.
For the last decade, freelance has been a good match for both me, my family and my clients. If you’re looking for award-winning, senior level, creative thinking for an upcoming project and are good with flexible working hours, we might just make a great team and most importantly, some solid work.
