I am empathetic towards Brands and Target Audiences. I never give up and am tenacious. I understand many, many categories because I have worked on most categories. I do things by hand and therefore am a Doer before I am a Director. I love my work and am passionate about everything. A problem always excites because it has hidden a multitude of possibilities within it! I am articulate and am Creative with a logical twist!
