"She's a super hero" may sound like an over-statement. But when I asked Naomi to jump in on a pitch, she saved the day. She's got the creative chops, executional skills, and the just-good-to-work-with vibe that a creative team needs to thrive.

I met Naomi while we were both working at The Home Depot at The Richards Group. I always looked forward to briefing her on a campaign because she would ask the questions that every planner wants - and is afraid - to hear. That meant that the work that we'd see later would be brilliant. And it was. Consistently. I would work with her again in a heartbeat. She's also a wonderful person and great fun to be around. I think this is why we've stayed in touch our careers took us to different places around the country.

Led the rebrand of multiple cookware brands for Meyer Corporation. Also headed up creative for Mezzetta – you’ve probably had their jarred olives at some point. (But you should really try their pasta sauce.) Led the rebrand of multiple cookware brands for Meyer Corporation.

Tiny place, many hats. Channelled my inner entrepreneur, managing resources, clients, and projects start-to-finish. Creative-directed teams of freelancers, or did it all myself when necessary, including copywriting and film direction. Sold out a limited edition of Tecovas boots the day it was announced with a house-produced social campaign. Created an award-winning brand look for iFLY indoor skydiving. Tiny place, many hats.

Helped GreenLightMM create influencer campaigns for Gillette, American Express, and Hyundai – before “influencer campaigns” were a thing. They also hired me to design and art direct a Dave Matthews Band album, illustrated by Mr. Matthews himself. Did some pinch-hitting at RPA, HUB Strategy, and Heat.
