about me

WHY MY WORK MATTERS.

Making has always been a core part of my identity.

I’m sick of boring -- why must things all be the same!

I’ve lived in the same Bronx neighborhood my whole life, and maybe that’s what makes me itch for learning new things. Successful copy and content are innovative, disruptive, and force people to remember it long after they see it. It's beyond the words and images on the page. It's about impact and memorability.

My experiences thus far in copy, communications, and content has sharpened my ability to transform complex ideas into accessible, relatable stories.

This is what makes me seek agency and in-house copy, comms, and creative experience. These teams are what make brands elevate from a company that sells a product to a company that stands for something.

To be able to conceptualize an idea, workshop it with peers, and bring it to reality, all while ensuring that I make that thing FRESH, is to be able to create a new world from scratch.

Storytelling and people are at the core of all that I do.

THE FUN STUFF.

9 ......................... Growing up with an older brother means I LOVE games, esp. RPGs.

10 .................................................................. I'll always have a soft spot for photography.

11 .......................... I have 5 cats and a dog. Waffle, Bo, Blackie, Bebo, Zuko, and Nova!

12 .......................................................................................... I'd be great part of your team!
