Jersey raised me / Boston made me / Miami completes me

I thrive in the tension between creative and technology. I’m addicted to problem solving and am passionate about crafting thoughtful campaigns, strategic solutions and engaging experiences – all while growing creative talent and inspiring teams. Having sat on both sides of the (virtual) table I have a unique understanding of both client and agency needs.

Currently tossing pixels and ideas around as a Sr Art Director at Razorfish, I work across verticals and borders, from coffee to pickup trucks, Snapchat filters to TV spots. I manage a team of 2-14 creatives, across 2 cities on any given day. The breadth of talent, skills and work I’m immersed in everyday continues to push me and my work further. I represented SapientRazorfish at CES 2017 highlighting my top picks from the floor in an Instagram and Twitter takeover, and at The Ad Club’s 2017 Brandathon going to battle against 11 other top shops in Boston.

Prior to SapientRazorfish, I spent 7 years bringing RueLaLa from pre-launch to 10M+ members and $500M+ yearly sales, growing my career (and shoe collection) alongside the brand. Having started when the creative team was only 5 people I had an unlimited opportunity to learn every piece of the business and take on as much creative work as I could get my mouse on as our department grew to 75+. I was sent to Facebook’s headquarters at 23 to learn how we could leverage each other’s audiences and got to sit in the pit at NY Fashion Week during some of the world’s most elite fashion houses to give our fans an exclusive behind-the-scenes look.

Outside of my day (evening, sometimes weekend) job, I co-own and operate Raskyl Collective, an integrated creative agency focused on launching multi-platform creative solutions with my good friend, Kyle Langford. Going on 9 years in business together, Kyle’s my first Google hangout open every morning, discussing our latest client’s needs, new business prospects, how we should’ve paid more attention during Digital Storytelling in school, and debating where we’re meeting over dinner.

I grew up on the mean streets of Woodcliff Lake, NJ, am a Dolphins fan through and through, have been having one-night stands with NY for 30+ years, and swear I just moved to Boston… 12 years ago. I’m infatuated by airports and always need to have a flight booked. I sail. I box. I post embarrassing throwbacks of my loved ones for the world to see.

I seek to collaborate with, challenge, learn from and inspire my team while creating effective, meaningful work. I am forever curious and addicted to learning.. and pizza – if you can offer both of those, let’s talk.
