I’m Director of Creative at Skylight. I get to work on the best gift you’ll give anyone in your family.
Before, I was Creative Director at Shipt (Target’s delivery app). If you don’t pay for the fancy ad-free Hulu, you’ve definitely seen my team’s commercials.
Before that I was the designated non-physicist at Glowforge, the 3D Laser Printer that launched with the largest-ever crowdfund campaign. I got to play with lasers professionally.
And before that? I was at BARK – maker of BarkBox – where I helped create crazy dog joy every day.
I’ve also written scripted television for HBO (now Max??), the 10-episode docuseries “Dark Dynasties.”
My dog Edna is just happy that I keep her in kibble.
