Creates

Writer, Director, Dresser, Recovering Clown

I’m Jersey Born / Boston Brewed / New York City Based.
Currently a Senior Copywriter at FCB New York.
Getting dressed is my favorite daily brief. I cry over food. There is no time or place inappropriate for dancing.
I feel like a blue heron when I figure skate. All kids should have the opportunity to learn creative problem solving earlier!

Now, for what brings us here today.

 
 
 
 

I thought my life purpose
was to make people smile.

A good line. A clever thought.
Proof I could make the world feel lighter for a second.

But you can only chase smiles for so long before you accidentally end up in clown school. (True story.)

Somewhere between the puns and the truth, I realized people don’t laugh because you’re funny. They laugh because they feel seen.

That flicker of recognition is the light I’ve been chasing in the awkward, offbeat, and unseen ever since. Because the things that make us human are often the things we’re taught to hide in the dark.

In everything I make, I try to break down that wall of shame and give people permission to be human.

Turns out, that’s the best way to make people smile.
