About
I help brands stand out with smart strategy, bold ideas, and striking design. With 18+ years in advertising and brand development, I blend creative vision with strategic thinking to build engaging, results-driven work.
Collaboration is my superpower—I love solving problems, crafting compelling visuals, and bringing brands to life in fresh, meaningful ways. My work has helped transform a local agency into a national player, and I’ve been named one of Business Insider’s 30 Under 30 Most Creative People in Advertising.
I also founded LiveME®, a Maine lifestyle brand that’s become a regional favorite, with products sold across New England and beyond.
Always up for great ideas and creative challenges—let’s connect!
