  I'm fortunate to be part of JohnXHannes as one of its first employees. JohnXHannes was recognized as Ad Age Small Agency of the Year 2018 and as the #3 Most Awarded Independent Creative Agency at the 2019 Cannes Lions Festival. As a boutique creative shop founded at the intersection of Entertainment and Advertising, I help run the business details of the agency as Head of Operations, and produce creative work as Head of Production. We're fortunate to make work on behalf of a variety of clients such as Beats by Dre, Squarespace, Expensify, Montefiore, EA and more.

I've done this at small and large organizations, and I'm able to make tough decisions and resolve complex issues to achieve these goals. I've worked both within ad agencies and production companies. Work that I've produced or led has won recognition at nearly every award show in existence, including Cannes Lions, D&AD, Webby’s, FWA, One Show, Clios and more.
