Interdisciplinary writer and creative director with over a decade of experience in building brands and creating content for causes, candidates, and campaigns.
From growing Ram Trucks’ digital creative into a $1 billion account to overseeing the comms campaign that passed the biggest Green New Deal victory in US history, I have a track record of leading multidisciplinary teams to creative and business success.
I have been published in Jacobin, McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, and Points in Case.
I am, to the surprise of everyone who meets me, an Eagle Scout.
