Group Creative Director - Anomaly London

2018-present

I’ve been at Anomaly London for 7 years now. Among other things, I’ve honed my skills in:

  • Creating award winning and effective creative on a global and national scale

  • Helping creatives engage and do their very best work

  • Winning major global brand pitches including Expedia Group, MINI, Farfetch, Ancestry.com, Coca-Cola brands, Bulb Energy, Oppo, WSL Football and more

  • Managing large cross-functional teams to deliver fully integrated global campaigns and market toolkits (Full disclosure, I just recently learned the term “cross-functional team”)

Brands I’ve worked on: Rimowa, Expedia, Hotels.com, Google Pixel, Cancer Research UK, Bulb, Meta, Gordon’s, MINI, Johnnie Walker, Farfetch, Coca-Cola, Unilever


Senior Copywriter - Anomaly LA

2016-2018

I joined when Anomaly had just opened their LA office, and spent two of the most fun years of my advertising career there. We had a small team who genuinely enjoyed each other and more work than we knew what to do with. I got to work with some very talented people and ultimately was able to transfer to the London office to fulfill my dream of living in Europe. Well, almost. Thanks Brexit.

Brands I’ve worked on: Netflix, Beats, YouTube, Snapchat, Coca-Cola Brands


I spent a little under two years at 180LA learning a lot about working at a mid-size agency. I learned more about process, how to hold my own in big meetings, and how to produce loads of work in a short amount of time. I worked with two of my favourite CDs ever - Mike and Jason – who taught me almost everything I know about how to make work that’s funny.

Brands I’ve worked on: Asics, Dollar Shave Club, Expedia, Miller Lite, HP, Boost Mobile

Copywriter - 180 LA

2015-2016


My first job out of school was at a small independent agency started by Keith Cartwright. It was a full-on three years of a tiny team pitching and producing ideas for huge clients. Keith helped me understand how to write a proper script, how to really push and craft creative, and how to communicate and work together with clients to produce the best work.

Brands I’ve worked on: Nike, LEGO, Loren Stewart, Fivestar Training, GE

Copywriter - Union Made Creative

2012-2015


A creative in advertising who went to VCU Brandcenter? Groundbreaking.

This was a really weird two years full of stress and a decent amount of crying, but I walked out with a book that got me a cool job, stories I still pull out at parties, and some of my very best friends for life. It was worth it.

Masters in Advertising / Copywriting - VCU Brandcenter

2010-2012


In a former life I thought I wanted to be a trader on Wall Street, until I was introduced to the wild and wonderful world of advertising through a professor of mine named Mike Allen. He gave me my first copywriting internship and helped me see how fun this job can be. Thank you Mike.

Bachelors in Economics - UNC Chapel Hill
