Over 5+ years, I helped build a trailer house into a full-fledged creative agency with a singular focus on video games—primarily launch campaigns for AA and AAA titles. In my interdisciplinary roles I grew from writing on individual trailers to leading creative on full campaigns, championing the agency initiative to put narrative and authenticity first.
As ACD & Head Writer, I oversaw creative on every new campaign and lead a small team of writers to build creative platforms, messaging, concepts, treatments, & scripts, further collaborating with strategists to develop brand foundations like voice, tone, & strategic platform. I regularly interfaced with clients, including presenting and pitching.

Plus, I got to write for some of my favorites games of all time.
