I'm the Interactive Creative Director at Modernista! in Boston, MA. I work across all brands to create integrated work that people want to spend time with. Right now I've got big things cooking for Palm, Cadillac and (RED). Though I'm most often find myself working in the online space, I'm a hybrid creative. I believe that a good idea is a good idea, no matter where or how it may find you.

At Modernista! I'm leading the integration of our interactive and traditional creative, building an all-knowing, all-powerful creative department that is capable of delivering integrated executions that make our clients happy.

Previously, I was an Interactive Art Director at Crispin Porter + Bogusky. I worked on brands like VW, Coke Zero, Nike, Microsoft and Domino's. Further in the past, I've worked with Nterface, Palm Pictures, and freelance clients that range from Michel Gondry to Reebok. Further-further in the past, I was a fine art photographer... go figure.

I graduated from Parsons School of Design with a Master of Fine Arts degree in Design & Technology. My thesis project consisted of creating new online social networks and hacking MySpace to create art projects. I have spent a fair amount of time designing, developing, and consulting with social networks and startups.

I am currently an FWA judge, and I am interested in speaking opportunities.
