All through high school I had a knee condition called Osgood Schlatter disease, which kept me out of gym. So I took art classes. That got me into art school, which led to a career in advertising. Despite an unremarkable start working for a few dodgy agencies early on, I eventually found my stride and the work got better (so did my knees). I’m an award-winning creative director with a good head for branding and strategy. I’ve been lucky enough to work with many amazing people, making smart, strategic work for clients, and I think my best work still lies ahead.
