From March until September of this year, I partnered with Beau Hanson to create the end-of-year work for St. Jude with the wonderful team at Deutsch LA. This work isn't out yet and, honestly, I probably won't feel comfortable posting it an advertising portfolio because these kids and families are going through something unimaginable. It feels in poor taste. However, I'm representing my love for this project here the best way I know how for the time being.
Please consider giving to St Jude this year.
From 2019 until the summer of 2023, I was head of creative at FORME. What started as a pretty random freelance gig became something I felt compelled to see through. It was a unique opportunity to help build every aspect of a brand from a blank page. My team and I spearheaded all content development, a massive retail launch, brand partnership and an apparel line developed in partnership with Kate Young, in addition to all of the day-to-day creative requests from our marketing and PR partners. Throughout it all, I worked with some incredible ex- and current ad folks, like my all-time fave AD, Sara Oakley + my dear friend and incredible producer Jesse Ferguson + long-time go-to editor Paul Plew
Omg do we have stories.
FORME IPO-ed in early 2023.

Straightforward style spot featuring all those cute summer things that are somehow still irresistible to me after working on Target for five years.
Target Holiday has a reputation for being an extremely challenging project. It has to be both entertaining and drive a lot of sales. Our task in 2017 was to build on the animated character storytelling Target has become known for over the last few years by making it more modern and inclusive, while showcasing all those ridiculously cute holiday products.
We produced over 270 pieces of content, in both English and Spanish. These are a few of the team's faves.

This super fun and poppy campaign performed very well for Target. Loads of digital, social and radio content surrounded. Executed in English, with custom Spanish language work that uses a famous cheer from Mexico "Siquitibum" or "Chiquitibum."
To launch Atom Tickets, we created a hard-working little campaign starring Anna Farris doing what all annoyingly passionate movie fans do: incessantly quote iconic films. Directed by Peter Berg. Surrounded by full digital, radio and OOH creative. In theaters - and next to theaters - now.

I grew up in a small town in East Texas with one stop light. I had no idea advertising was a career. I thought I’d become an actress or maybe work at Sonic. Acting didn’t work out but it led me to advertising, which led me to work with some wonderful people on some dream brands. Sadly, not Sonic.
A few years ago, I took a break from advertising to work for a start-up. It took my love of making things to a whole new level and I’m proud to have been a part of that company’s journey. Working in home fitness was one hell of a pandemic job.
After fifteen years in LA, I recently moved back to my home state for the breakfast tacos. I am available for freelance work as a senior creative or as a CD. I mostly work on the West Coast but excited to reconnect with TX friends.
GO DODGERS!
