Back in 2009, while shooting concerts in NYC, Lady Gaga spontaneously pulled me and my flashing camera on stage as a prop during “Paparazzi.” Instant lifetime humble brag, but more importantly, it rewired how I think about audience participation. Ever since, I’ve been obsessed with putting brands in the action, inside cultural moments, not watching from the side stage.

After earning my M.A. in Media Studies and Film at The New School, I emerged from the concert photo pit and evolved into an in-house creative lead for brands across the media landscape. I became a founding member of Condé Nast’s first in-house creative agency, and since then I’ve been telling stories for premium brands that want to make authentic cultural impact (and sell products and win awards).

Now the Global Vice President of Creative at Condé Nast, I lead teams in New York, Los Angeles, and London on award-winning creative campaigns, brand marketing, branded content, events and consumer initiatives for a diverse portfolio of 13 of the most influential brands: Vogue, GQ, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, Teen Vogue, them, Architectural Digest, Condé Nast Traveler, Allure, Bon Appétit, Epicurious, Wired, and Pitchfork.

Born in England and raised in Detroit, I’ve got two passports and my perspective is shaped by dualities: equal parts global and grounded, polished and punk. From strategy to art direction and brand marketing, I bring a blend of artistic vision and strategic acumen to every project. I specialize in the fashion, luxury, tech and entertainment sectors, and my work is fueled by collaborations with creators and brands who stand for something: those who aren’t just reflecting culture, but shaping it.
