About me

Senior writer. ATL advertising background. Often the last to talk. Usually first to listen. Enjoys all kinds of words. Except buzzwords. And adspeak bollockery. Believes that, actually, ideas are not everything. Execution is. More about making something good than trying to look good. Once described by a creative director as a closed book. But, you know, you just gotta tickle me to open. See portfolio site for more work examples.
