I’ve been making things for as long as I can remember. The second I could hold a paintbrush, I was off and running. I found out I’m dyslexic in 3rd grade…so reading was not my thing. Drawing? Now that made sense. Fast forward a bit, and I ended up at Leo Burnett. I spent years working as a storyboard artist, and finally, made the switch to art direction. So here I am—still telling stories, just in a new way. Because that’s what I chase— stories. And sometimes snacks. Depends on the deadline.
