I have worked in advertising and graphic design for over 20 years and somehow still find each day more interesting, challenging and enjoyable than the last. After being raised in Palos Verdes, California, studying at the University of the Pacific, Oxford and then graduating from UCSD, I ventured off to Santa Fe, New Mexico where I started my own agency, with a partner, and worked on Ski Patrol to keep active.

In the 90’s I moved to Hawai‘i to join Ogilvy & Mather. There I had the opportunity to work as Art Director on the Blockbuster, Alamo, Waimea Valley, Sea Life Park, Taco Bell & Pizza Hut accounts.  After many late nights, undisputed dedication and a Telly award I was promoted to Creative Director of the Ala Moana Center account.  

Being an entrepreneur at heart finally drove me to open my own shop where I began acquiring clients such as the Hawai‘i Pacific Health network of hospitals, University of Hawai‘i Foundation and Atlas Insurance. In addition to my own business, in 2003 I joined JB Brands as Creative Director of the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut account, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Rehab Hospital of the Pacific and Maui Divers Jewelry. My broad scope of experience helps me to execute creative projects in print, radio, television and on social media platforms. 

Over the years I have volunteered on numerous committees. Two favorites being Special Olympics and Easter Seals, Hawaii. When not working on advertising, or chasing my twins, I spend my time engaged in the many outdoor activities that make Hawai‘i such an amazing place to live, share quality time with friends, travel to new places, and have enriching culinary experiences.
