About Me.
|
I started my advertising career in 1990 after graduating with a BFA in graphic design. By the age of 27, I started my first ad agency, Acme Advertising. Since then, I have created all types of brand initiatives in broadcast, print, and digital mediums across lifestyle, entertainment and technology sectors. Whether it’s a logo for Fastrak or a Super Bowl commercial for Teleflora, my commitment to progressive and effective creative solutions has earned my teams and clients recognition in the advertising industry’s top award shows and publications. Currently, I balance my time between developing creative work for UCLA, and fostering the same creative spirit in my daughter, Stella.
