Stuff I love.
I ♥ Thorsday
Thundering from the heavens comes an epic gathering for you, oh Gods of Creativity! Dubbed “I Heart Thorsday,” a melding of the minds and clashing of the cups for all deities of design, goddesses of fashion, creators of advertising, the immortals of film, and an occasional wanna-be model. I Heart Thorsday was our monthly celebration in New York and Chicago. Aptly named for the god of inspirational lightning, Thor! … and because it always took place on a Thursday.
Good Day Monsters
Good Day Monsters was my first entrepreneurial effort. Together with my partner in Thailand, our crew of Monsters crushed digital projects 24 hours daily, from Chicago by day and Bangkok by night. This overnight-overseas production model not only saved clients time, but also allowed us Monsters to stretch budgets beyond mere human limits. We had a good run. For a time, every client believed in Monsters.
R/GA Hausparty
It’s about the work. But it’s also about the culture. I started R/GA Hausparty to celebrate the creative talent of the Chicago office. Our hausparty was built to inspire - from culture-making guest speakers, to transformational tech series, and field trips in the creative community.
Next Gen
Family has always been a priority. Being a parent has shaped my professional identity and vice versa. From accountability to leadership to navigating each unknown stage of parenthood, I’ve tried rise to the challenge with composure, flexibility, and fun. Commitment to family requires a disciplined approach to time management and a leadership style rooted in empathy, mentorship, and long-term goals.
heART
From sculpture to digital, and from the street to the gallery, art is my jam. I love art in all its forms. I’m a collector and a fan. That’s part of the reason I got into marketing. Thoughtfully crafting things with heart to impact an audience.
