About
With over 20 years of experience as an agency creative, I’ve honed my craft with some of the top agencies in New York. I’ve worked on campaigns for a diverse list of brands such as Volkswagen, Neutrogena, Ralph Lauren, Rolex and many others. Most recently I worked with Volkswagen and helped launch their new all-electric ID.4 with great success.
