About

I love my job.
I make work that makes people love brands.
The first 12 years of my professional life, I worked as a dancer then choreographer.
Choreography gave me my passion for creative communication.
For the past 15 years, working in brand communications, I’ve created for much larger audiences. 
I still get nervous before 'premiering' each piece.
They say, 'if you stop feeling nervous, you’ve stopped caring'.
I care. That’s how I know I love my job.
