Audible

As a creative director in Audible’s marketing department, I lead a team of writers and designers in executing promotional "anon" trial membership messaging across Audible and Amazon surfaces. I also collaborated with marketing stakeholders on executing special offers and messages to subscribing members. My team also concepted and executed the brand’s Lincoln Tunnel billboard as well as other OOH activations, including Chicago. I collaborate with cross-functional working teams on animations, emails, rich media and in-app messaging, including UX designers, web developers, animators, and partner agencies MRY and McCann.

Citi

As a VP Design Lead spearheading the bank's global Citi Developer Hub, I partnered with our UX team to architect the site experience in addition to personally designing all site pages including tablet and mobile breakpoints. The site debuted at the Singapore FinTech Festival, garnering millions of media impression and glowing praise across the press. I also designed all marketing materials, including multiple animated videos, and served as an advisor on the design of the booth experience itself.

Toys"R"Us

As the Executive Creative Director for Digital Customer Experience, I lead a team of 15 internal writers and designers as well as overseeing the production of major creative products by world-class agencies like R/GA, Lippincott and BBDO. Guiding a legacy retail company down the path of reinventing itself for the digital era means a deep collaboration with CRM / Analytics teams as well as a daily cross-functional partnership with UX and web dev. Journey-based design is at the core of everything I do. Big ideas first—rolling out into the best tactical expression which targets the right message to the right customer on the right channel on the right device at the right time of day. From broadcast spots to Snapchat filters, animated infographics to perfectly timed celebrity tweets, everything I create comes out of an iterative and agile process. Fortunately for everyone I work with, it's also a complete blast. It's not every day that you get handed the reins to help turn around a brand you've loved since childhood!
