I’m best known for creating convention-defying advertising, digital activations, and social campaigns for brands like Skittles, Snickers, Hotels.com, Aflac, FedEx, and Domino’s. In fact, my social-video work for Hotels.com was so impactful that Facebook actually used it to teach other brands how to properly do video on their platform. I’m also an award-winning board game designers. My game, The Night Cage, was published in 2021 and immediately became a Barnes&Noble Bestseller. French and Chineses editions were released in 2022, while the English edition is currently on its 6th printing.
