I got here by accident. But the view sure is nice.
When I first moved to Southern California to study film, I was supposed to be rubbing elbows at Sundance just four years later. Instead, I built a community in San Diego around art, coffee, free donuts, and even freer creativity.
In 2012, I made a video that broke the internet. The aftermath of that drove me to believe that successful brands are built on story, and regardless of the industry, we're all desperately trying to connect on a human level.
In 2015, I joined Grizzly to build Adventurous Brands. Currently a Creative Director, I've worn more hats than most during my 8+ years with the agency– giving me the opportunity to lead strategy, copy, and design while building our film/photo portfolio.
I say I got where I am by accident, but I've spent the last 16 years being intentional about building relationships and moments for people and brands around the world.
LOVE PEOPLE.
At the end of the day, we’re all human. Crafting experiences that put people first will make the biggest impact.
RELATIONSHIPS MATTER.
The same amount of time and effort put into projects should be put into building relationships.
EVERYONE IS CREATIVE.
Regardless of where you find yourself, there is a built-in creativity in all of us.
