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 another creative entity 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, peace, and wellness. I’m open to freelance, permalance and full-time position with a company that works to foster those same things, whether directly or indirectly. | back
