I find the human truths that bring brands to life.

I've had the privilege of working with international brands like Hyundai, McDonald's, and Volvo, to name a few. This journey has equipped me with a unique skill set, enabling me to seamlessly blend the creative process with strategic insights to bring brands to life and make a few jokes along the way.

Hyundai Superbowl Commercial | Applied Arts Award

McDonald’s Television

Responsibilities: Concept, Copywriting

This playful spot ended up being voted the top commercial of the year, based on parent feedback, and I got to show childhood from a kid’s perspective.

McDonald’s Sandwich Launch 

These quirky headlines were part of a Union Station Domination Campaign to introduce the new McDonald’s sandwiches. The lines survived, the line of sandwiches not so much.
