Thirty years working across marketing, design, and technology, from print and direct mail to web development, digital strategy, and multimedia. I’ve had the chance to work on brands from both sides: designing them, building the sites and tools behind them, and helping run the campaigns that put them in front of people. I’m looking to bring that experience to a marketing agency, or to a company’s in-house team where I can help lead marketing and creative work.
