I’m an award-winning creative leader with years of experience bringing vision and efficiency to fast-paced, high-growth environments. I’ve managed creative teams within Amazon, helped reinvent e-commerce and user experience at beloved brands Melissa & Doug and The Topps Company, and have pushed various tech startups to the next level. My work developing creative for the parenting media brands Scary Mommy, The Dad, and Fatherly, and for the podcast-first media company CAFE contributed to their successful acquisitions by BDG (Bustle Digital Group) and Vox Media, respectively.

Currently, I’m leading brand and design at The Suite and am a co-founder of the strategic branding agency Ugly Wolf. I’m also a brand mentor and investor within SKU, the nation’s first CPG accelerator.

Outside of work, I like to shoot hoops with my kids, drink lots of coffee, and ride my bike around town. I love a good roadtrip and am four stadiums away from visiting all the ballparks in the United States.
