With a background spanning mass and luxury brands, non-profits, and the arts, I’ve built a career at the intersection of culture, creativity, and storytelling. Over the past four years, I’ve worked in advertising in New York, and I’m currently at Wieden+Kennedy, where I help lead high-impact campaigns that blend cultural relevance with strategic clarity.
I’ve contributed to award-winning work for institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Met Gala, Christian Dior, and Revlon, and collaborated with artists including Gal Gadot, David Bowie, Lady Gaga, Ashley Graham, and Adwoa Aboah. My experience spans fashion, beauty, entertainment, and tech—supporting shoots for Vogue and Vanity Fair, and campaigns for Uniqlo, Hello Kitty, and Xbox. Projects I’ve supported have been featured by HBO, CNN, and the Tribeca Film Festival, and exhibited at The Rubin Museum of Art, the Museum at FIT, and the Japanese American Museum.
I hold a BA in Political Science from Chapman University and bring both strategic insight and creative depth to every project I take on.More...
