I've worked in big agencies and small. I've owned my own nationally-recognized agency. 

 

I've worked with national clients you've heard of and others I've helped grow into powerhouses in their category. No matter the size, I consider each one equally important. 

       Kevin's thoroughness in understanding our business is part of his competitive advantage. He and his team worked strategically and creatively to reposition our corporate brand image, taking us to a new level and mirroring the success of our business.

And I've received awards by The One Show, Communication Arts, New York Art Directors Club, Advertising Age, Print's Regional Design Annual, Show South and at every level of the Addys.

On Being a Creative Director

I believe a great creative director is 50% Darth Vader and 50% kindergarten teacher.


The tough part in doing this job is making all the “creative direction” decisions: managing people, planning, positioning, ensuring the strategy is great, inspiring creatives, saying “Not good enough,”  killing work, selecting work, then presenting and negotiating with account managers, clients and vendors and getting the work produced.

The fun part is coming up with ideas, whether it's you, your staff—or anyone. Then, working with other smart people, and ultimately, seeing account managers, clients and the audience embrace the idea.

​

If you're a great agency or a client who wants smart, creative work, I'd love to work with you.
