This is an AI rendering of me as a Cosmic Sushi Horror.
Look upon my salmon-y works, ye mammals, and despair.
BIO
Hi. I'm Rosswell, a name I inherited from my grandfather (because obviously). I’m a writer, creative director and tabletop game designer who has been lucky enough to win awards for all three.
I've worked at my share of agencies over the years including DDB, where I worked across all three North American offices. In my time there, I touched nearly every major client and ran a variety of accounts, including Aflac, Kroger, Lipton, and Royal Canin. I was also very active on new business, most recently winning Espolòn for DDB Chicago.
Before DDB, I was at BBDO, writing for everything from Snickers and FedEx to Subway and Lowe’s. And before that I was at CPB Boulder where I wrote for too many things to list. I also helped open (and close) the CPB New York office that no one knew we had opened (due to the closing).
