About Me

I'm passionate about creating what's next online. My bag is packed with practical experiences in design, marketing and strategy for over 15 years as a creative director for mainstream brands; and over the last 5 years with startups I've either founded, helped launch, advised or some combination thereof.

Right now, I'm involved with amazing startups in communications, travel, and media. We are each trying to change the world in our respective ways, and I feel very fortunate to be a part of bringing them to life.
