Hi!
Throughout my career in advertising, I've been able to work on some fantastic teams at a variety of agencies including JWT, LKM and LGA, and Rawle Murdy. I’m responsible for brand development, from concept phase through execution, for clients in both traditional and digital mediums. As Founder and Creative Director of Assembly Brand Co., I work on a wide range of projects that include web, print, commercials, and printed marketing materials. My experience includes brand strategy, concepting, directing photo and video shoots, and managing multiple vendor relationships in order to bring an idea to life. In the end, it’s all about doing great work for my clients, and having fun with my team.
