About

Went from Excel to Word. Stayed for the ideas. I’ve been in the communication industry since 1995. Started in media strategy — building bridges, making plans, living in slides. Then slowly moved into copywriting. From logic to language. From structure to story. Today I’m a Creative Director at TBWA. I like ideas that mean something. Words that move. Timing that hits. No fluff. No fuss. Just work that sticks. Still allergic to empty buzzwords. But strangely loyal to well-placed ones.
