2004 — 2005 Motus, Columbus; Creative Director/Partner. I thought it might be fun to start my own agency. I realized I have a weird concept of what’s “fun.” But I did wear a lot of hats and gained an appreciation for all that goes into running a business.
2000 — 2004 Ten United, Columbus; Sr. Art Director. I was the lead art director on a couple of accounts here, and really developed my presentation skills and salesmanship. It’s here that I learned that great agencies don’t work for a client but with a client. I also cut my teeth managing, mentoring and being a nursemaid to junior creatives. And what do you know; I really enjoyed it.
