[FOUNDER] + [FREELANCE: CREATIVE DIRECTOR | ILLUSTRATOR | DESIGNER ]
bio
I'm a freelance Creative Director with two decades of experience in all things Advertising, Illustration and Design.
Here are some of the things I have been hired for as a freelancer:
- Lots of new business pitches
- TV/Video/Photoshoots
- Branded Content
- Post-Production
- Gifs
- Illustration
- Website Design
- Package Design
- Type Design
- Wedding Design
- Rebranding
- Organic Activations
- Paid Activations
- I’ve taken over two maternity leaves
- I’ve worked backward into telling a new story with existing footage
- I’ve run teams
- I’ve been part of a team being run
- Short gigs (1 week)
- Long gigs (8 months)
- Agency-side
- Client-side
- PR-side
I'm a sucker for new briefs with new brands and older brands that need a refresh. So much so that I started my own brand called The MoMeMans® to keep busy between gigs. The MoMeMans prove your best parts are your fantastically different parts and using them to help each other makes you super smart. I create stories, videos, music and products for creative little kids and grown-up kids. Check it out at themomemans.com and follow the adventure on Instagram @themomemans
I have lived in New York City since 2000 and can tailor-fit a touristy itinerary for visitors. In fact, you can see all my fav spots in my Brooklyn neighborhood, here. I speak Spanish, Italian and French—in food. I'm also a mom and a co-leader for a Girl Scout troop, so I'm a good manager.
