A CREATIVE DIRECTOR WITH A PASSION FOR CONCEPTUAL THINKING, TEAM LEADERSHIP, AND TALENT DEVELOPMENT. EXPERT IN CRAFTING FULLY INTEGRATED MARKETING CAMPAIGNS, SHAPING BRAND IDENTITIES, AND DRIVING IMPACTFUL COMMUNICATION THAT PUSHES STORYTELLING FORWARD.
My creative journey started in Detroit as an intern at J. Walter Thompson, working on brands like Ford Motor Company and White Castle. Back then, I was just a kid who loved ideas, design, culture, and the energy of building something people could actually feel. Freelancing as an Art Director eventually led me to GlobalHue, America’s first multicultural advertising agency, where I found a space that truly connected creativity with culture. There, I helped create award-winning campaigns for Jeep and Verizon Wireless, earning recognition from Screen Magazine and being named one of Advertising Age’s “29 Under 29” emerging leaders.
That path took me to New York and UniWorld Group, where I led creative for Ford Motor Company and Burger King with a focus on authentically connecting with the African American consumer marketplace. Later, at Leo Burnett Vigilante, I worked across General Motors and new business initiatives, including award-winning campaigns for Partnership for a Drug-Free America. Along the way, the work earned multiple Davey, Summit, and international Telly awards, but more importantly, it reinforced my belief that the best creative work comes from understanding people first.
In Chicago, I helped Burrell Communications build and lead high-performing creative teams developing national campaigns for Comcast, Xfinity, NBCUniversal, McDonald's, and Toyota. It was a fast-moving, collaborative chapter that pushed me creatively and helped grow both the agency’s impact and its national recognition.
For the past seven years, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to work as a contract Creative Director with the National Basketball Association. That experience allowed me to help shape creative across the league and its purpose-driven initiatives, including NBA Cares, NBA Voices, NBA Foundation, NBA COVID response efforts, and civic engagement campaigns tied to U.S. midterm and primary elections.
Looking back, my career has never just been about advertising. It’s been about connecting creativity, culture, and human truth in ways that move people, build brands, and create work that leaves a lasting impact.CLIENT EXPERIENCE
