Hi.
Welcome.
As co-executive creative director at Colle+McVoy, I help manage the award-winning creative department and lead the work on numerous accounts. I’m known for my unique, inspired and infectious creativity, which has been honed from working at Twin Cities agencies including Colle+McVoy, mono, Carmichael Lynch and BBDO. My work has been recognized by the Clios, DA&D, Communication Arts, Cannes Lions, The One Show, Obie, The Telly Awards, the Effie Awards and my mom.
Some of my other creative outlets include writing The Book of SPAM(internationally published by Atria/Simon and Schuster), starting and running the popular website thebeardly.com, and helping foodie favorite Sweet Science Ice Cream get off the ground. Today I make giant felt fish and try and keep up with my with my twin daughters.
