I’m a creative director with years of experience in media. I work with brands to launch new products and solve high-stakes communications problems. I have specific expertise in consumer technology and automotive.

At Rivian, I was head of creative for marketing campaigns that included feature-length articles, video, email, and press materials. I also oversaw communications and media planning for the company’s primary vehicle line.

Before that, I was the Director of Membership Content at Hearst, where I built editorial and revenue strategies for publications including Bicycling, Runner’s World, Esquire, and Popular Mechanics.

I was also the Editor in Chief of Popular Mechanics, which had an audience of over 15 million readers and covered topics from home projects and tool reviews to renewable energy and space exploration.
