about

I like to consider myself as among the most generous, warm-hearted, and purely driven creatives in the business. Gutsy with concepts, seriously committed to crazy-go-for-broke swings, and—this is my favorite part—a believer in the audience. That they’ll get it. And love it. And that will transcend the risk. My heart is in everything I put forward. I inspire my teams to create work that challenges us to be more courageous, and that’s an awesome thing to have bouncing around in any team.

When stakes are at their highest and everything is on the line, my teams and I are at our best.
