ABOUT ME
SENIOR ART DIRECTOR
I first entered into the world of advertising 15 years ago, not knowing fully what to expect. I've seen the industry evolve and grow over the years, and can honestly say it's been one of the best experience of my life. This industry as a whole, is magnetic, with a ground breaking ideas, thought provoking challenges and so much more.
I've grown in so many ways in my industry journey, i can honestly describe myself as a team player with a can do spirit with whatever i face. Although at first glance i may appear reserved, you will find, as you get to know me, that i love working with and meeting new people and believe that everyone i encounter adds value and experience to my life.
