MEDIA QUICKEN

Head of Creative at Quicken, and a growth marketer who builds creative that actually moves the number. I have led teams across grocery tech (Instacart), mental health (Headspace), wellness, computer tech, events, and media. Lately I have been wiring AI into the creative process so good work ships faster and performs harder. Foodie by appetite, plane nerd by birth.

From the flight deck

I build brands the way pilots fly: preparation, instinct, and a healthy respect for the numbers.

Creative Direction Growth Marketing Brand Strategy AI Workflows Team Leadership Editorial Experiential

For two decades I have revitalized, differentiated, and rebuilt brands across retail and grocery tech, mental health, wellness, computer tech, events, and media. The method does not change much: research to understand, data to keep me honest, intuition to make the leap, and rigorous execution to land it.

These days a lot of that work runs through AI. I integrate it into the creative process to streamline the busywork, widen the range of ideas, and push performance at a scale that used to take a full floor of people. The tools got faster. The bar got higher. Good.

Off the clock you will find me chasing a great meal or filming takeoffs as @planezaddy. The old site said 2019 called and wanted its portfolio back. Consider this the upgrade to first class.
