About me

Over the years I've been lucky enough to be a media planner, a copywriter, a strategic planner (account planning) and a teacher. I've had the pleasure of working with clients (and more recently, students) to build some of our nation's biggest brands, with consumers to uncover thought-provoking insights and with creatives to create meaningful and compelling creative solutions that drive results.
