Freelance Associate Creative Director, New York. Nine years in advertising, branding and music, at agencies and on my own.

Fine art background. I can take a thing from a napkin to a finished piece by myself, but the good stuff never happened that way.

​

Most recent awarded work is a nudist pickleball spot for a diabetes device. Every word of it came from a real insight. My ad targeting has never recovered.

​

I've made headpieces for a Smashing Pumpkins video and album covers for artists who don't have a label telling them what the cover should be. I also own Nine Lives Social Club, a speakeasy in Orange County, NY, for people who work in music, food and art. No social media. That's the point.

​

Before this I sold real estate in New York. That's where I learned to pitch a hostile room, get yelled at by famous people, and make peace with the fact that someone will always have more money than you. There was a reality show appearance. Five of my fifteen minutes, gone.

​

I work fast and I don't pad decks.

​

Taking freelance ACD work in advertising, branding and music. DMs open.

And get out of the East River. We've all had our once-in-a-lifetime pandemic.
