I offer free creative mentorship. I’ve spent the vast majority of my professional career in the advertising industry as a copywriter, creative director, founder, VP, ECD, CCO, freelancer, mentor and design director. I’ve run my own small agency called “fry” since 2015, focusing largely on brands in the cycling industry, and a think tank called “Ideas for Animals” since 2023. Since 2018, I’ve put a lot more intentionality into the kinds of brands I work with. I greatly admire teaching and peace. I’m very open to a full-time position with a company that works to foster those same things, whether directly or indirectly. | back
