Award-winning art director, writer and creative director based in Seattle.
I began my career in Seattle and was later recruited to NYC, where I developed my first major campaign for Evian. This campaign transcended traditional advertising and became part of pop culture, earning accolades at Miami’s Museum of Contemporary Art, inclusion in Bruce Mau’s book 'Lifestyle,' and even a parody by Ben Stiller in 'Zoolander.'
Five years later, I returned to Seattle to lead Cole & Weber, where I revitalized Rainier Beer by co-creating and producing a late-night television show and outfitting a Ford F-150 with a giant neon 'R.' Graphis Magazine reported that I told "complex stories with sledgehammer visuals" and declared me an 'international creative leader.'
An alum of Wieden + Kennedy and Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, I fantasized about becoming a reality TV star. I was selected to be on Season 10 of the Norwegian reality TV show 'Alt for Norge.' Unfortunately, my dreams of stardom were dashed—I was the first person to exit the show. Believe it or not, with only two shows under my belt, I still have fans in Norway.
