About

Creative at heart.
Technical by nature.

I started in web design and desktop publishing and never lost the habit of building things myself. My career evolved naturally through advertising technology, email marketing, social media, SEO, accessibility, and now AI integration. Each shift wasn't a pivot so much as an expansion, following the technology as it became central to how marketing actually works.

Over 15 years at the intersection of marketing and technology, I've led the development of custom email builders, social intelligence platforms, analytics dashboards, and CMS migrations for a global audience of 400+ marketers across more than 40 countries.

What sets me apart at the Director level isn't just strategy. I can get into the code, architect the solution, and then train the team to use it. When off-the-shelf tools fall short, I build what's needed. When the tools are right, I make sure they're actually used.

#TotalQualityAssured

A campaign built from scratch.

Total Quality. Assured. is a B2B social media campaign I conceived, designed, and wrote for Intertek — focused on individual technical services while reinforcing brand identity. It functions as the deliberate counterpoint to the emotional, consumer-facing YBA campaign: more direct, more technical, more credible. Built for three social platforms, including static images and video."

Role: Creative direction, visual system design, copywriting — reviewed by technical subject-matter experts for accuracy

Visual system

Every post follows a strict layout: cerello border lockup, punchy headline with a single bold dropped keyword, high-contrast hero image bleeding over the border, brief service description, specific CTA, and a consistent "Total Quality. Assured." signature.

Editorial voice

Copy leads with a problem the audience already has, unpacks real technical complexity in plain language, then positions Intertek as the solution. No vague CTAs. Every post links to a specific deliverable.

Format discipline

Each post ships simultaneously in three formats: 1024x1024 square, 1080x1920 reel, and 1200x630 landscape, ensuring full platform coverage without compromising the visual system across aspect ratios.

You'll Be Amazed

Global brand. Global scale.

You'll Be Amazed is Intertek's flagship global brand campaign: emotionally driven, consumer-aware, built for reach. I led a creative team of eight, producing more than 400 original social posts across LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram, markets worldwide, including brand collaborations with Nike, McDonalds, and PopMart.
