Eye-catching DCO and Social Media ads that I worked on for a variety of top-tier clients while at Merkle, The Marketing Store and IMAN Cosmetics. Working with my creative partners and teams, we were able to move the needle for many of our clients by creating ads at a high level that were disruptive and on brand.

My career started in the mount room of a production studio of a major advertising agency. Being exposed to the print creative process from so many major Art and Creative Directors was the best education that I had. I take great pleasure in having created high-level print and OOH ads throughout my career.
