I think I’ve had an interesting career so far. I’ve helped build two creative departments from scratch. Made a TV spot from a WWII bunker in Poland. Fed wild lines to Joan Rivers from up a tree. Made a piece of creative that broke the internet, changed social media forever, and ended up in Twitter’s IPO. Oh, and I was almost killed.
When it comes to the work, I try to keep it simple, relatable and insightful. When it comes to my team, I give them the opportunity, support, and, above all, respect. When it comes to myself, I just try to get some sleep once in a while. I have a tireless work ethic and try to keep the job fun and productive for everyone.
TV, social, gadgets, experiential, skywriting, doesn't matter, I can play anywhere.
