About me
I’m a creative director and writer working in advertising and entertainment. My work has been featured places like Wired, Fast Company, The Guardian, and BBC. It's also been awarded fancy things from places like Cannes Lions, Webby, Eurobest, Lovie Awards, Epica, & New York Festivals. I'm currently judging The Webby Awards and The FWA - mostly because it looks good on LinkedIn.

  • Danone - Konfusion Kitchen
    Danone - Konfusion KitchenRigged with hidden cameras and a company of actors, an undercover film of Danone’s pop-up restaurant – the ‘Konfusion Kitchen’ – highlights the current absurdity of ever-changing healthy food trends.
