About me

I'm a creative copywriter with over 10 years of international experience that spans three countries (and two continents), and have worked with agencies such as Barrett and Welsh, Y&R, Leo Burnett, BBDO, Digitas, and Mullenlowe.

Over the years, I've done some cool stuff for a variety of brands (like TD Canada, Nando's, the UNHCR, FAB, McDonald's, and Honda) and picked up some awards, three cats, and more hobbies than I'll ever have along the way.
