My creative career has been a fascinating one, full of exciting unexpected turns and opportunities, and I'm always looking for my next great challenge and adventure.
I'm a team leader and builder, and a strong believer in true collaborative efforts for all conceptual problem solving and idea generation. I'm very skilled at bringing groups together to come up with solutions for a common cause. I love energizing my teams to challenge themselves to come up with the next great game-changing idea.
I bring a strong level of concentration and excitement with a large side dish of lightheartedness and sense of humor, and I believe in providing lots of positive reinforcement to get the best out of my team. I am a big ball of positivity and "we can make it happen" attitude. Just ask any of my previous co-workers or clients.
My attention to detail is a large part of my reputation. Many of the little things that some overlook are the things I hone in on, like perfecting the audio or removing distracting elements from your video (like your browser tabs). These may seem like minor things but my clients all notice and appreciate the difference.
I was Creative Director for a very successful B2B software company (Snowbound Software) who provided advanced document viewing, conversion and collaboration solutions that augment electronic document workflows. While there I did everything creative: Web Design, Ad Creatives, Collateral Design, Video Concepts/Production and Editing, Creative Writing, Voice Overs, Product Videos, Product Demo and How-To Videos, Animated Explainer Videos, Partner and Culture videos, Customized Guided Product Tours, Email Design, Newsletter Design, custom Landing Page Design for customers and partners, Logo Design, Managed and Designed the UI/UX for our flagship software product... Oh, and I even created an original comic strip for a newsletter to improve and increase engagement with an elusive technical audience.
I was the Creative Director for what was at the time the top Healthcare Records Management and Solutions company in the USA (AMES Color-File). I worked closely with marketing teams from many of the largest and most well known healthcare providers in the country to design promotional and corporate assets that fit their needs.
I was Creative Director for one of the largest on-demand print and specialty retail packaging manufacturers in the Northeast (AMES Specialty Packaging). I worked with top CAD designers to create countless innovative retail packaging solutions for some of the largest retailers in the USA.
Outside of my work experience I also designed from concept to conception a line of t-shirts for a specific niche audience for a successful startup, provided professional voice overs for various corporate and social media projects, wrote multiple original movie and tv script treatments for an entertainment company, and mentored other designers to help them in the beginning stages of their creative careers.
I also had a career in the music industry where I fronted a touring band that performed across the USA in support of many well known rock acts, have had multiple songs featured on TV (NCIS, Sons of Anarchy, Monday Night Football, NHL and more) as well as independent films and video games, and had multiple songs in rotational airplay on many rock radio markets across the country.
And I'm a major foodie.
