I create successful branding campaigns for top tier New York ad agencies and Fortune 500 companies. Retail, beauty, packaged goods, health and wellness, casual dining...I've done it all. I love solving marketing problems -- and more importantly -- shifting perceptions and driving profits. I know how to manage teams of like-minded creative thinkers to get the job done. But most importantly, I know how to have fun. Because if you don't love what you do, why bother?
