I’m an experienced Creative Director (copywriter) based in Kansas City looking for my next creative challenge. I’m open to roles both local and remote, full time or freelance.
I specialize in finding the humanity in even the most scientific of brands & products, with 10+ years of global CPG experience ranging from skincare to animal health, personal hygiene, and more.
Agency Experience
VML
July 2017 - Present
Coming from a smaller KC agency to the biggest agency in town on one of their biggest clients was quite a shift. In my seven years at VML, I’ve worked to learn everything I can about the global behemoth that is Colgate-Palmolive and all its associated brands — specifically, leading copy on Hill’s Pet Nutrition (Science Diet & Prescription Diet), Tom’s of Maine, and most recently serving as the creative lead for their global Skin Health Group consisting of EltaMD suncare, PCA SKIN, and Filorga.
ER Marketing
April 2014 - July 2017
Baby’s first agency. It’ll always have a soft spot in my heart — an agency of 20 people that taught me what it meant to be scrappy and step up even before you’re ready to take on whatever a client can throw at you. 18 clients, three art directors, one copywriter (me) — it was the bootcamp that laid the foundation for my agency career. Oh, and did I mention I started out in account service? Like I said, small agency — anything goes!
