I'm a Chicago-based creative leader, art director and designer. I started out thinking I'd be a full-time graphic designer. Then advertising pulled me in, and I never looked back.

​

I've spent more than 20 years at Two by Four, where I'm now Chief Creative Officer. The title changed, but one thing didn't: I still love making the work.

 

I believe the best creative leaders don't drift too far from the craft. I love mentoring teams, selling ideas, shaping strategy and helping people do the best work of their careers. But I also still enjoy opening Illustrator, sketching concepts, obsessing over headlines and getting my hands dirty.

 

Because the best way I've found to grow brands is to stay close to the work that builds them.

 

Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work with incredible people on brands like Wrangler, Grainger, Bridgestone Firestone, TimberTech and many more. Along the way, the work has been recognized by The One Show, Communication Arts, Graphis, Archive, the ADDYs and a few other places I'm grateful to have landed.

Let's make something worth talking about.
