this was my favorite creative person
I love the words more than anything, even when I’m not the one who wrote them. Because i still think a crafted story will stir up some feelings that your average scroll-sludge cannot. I love taking direction as much as I love giving it, and I’m equally good at both, which is to say pretty good.
I became the client - I learned more launching sustainable chemistry brands into the B2B marketplace than even Jeff Goodby could teach.
I’ve been Executive Creative Director twice - Really proud of the job I did at one. Failed mightily at the other. Worked equally hard for both results.
Creative Director at Goodby was all I ever wanted to be -And I have more gratitude and reverence for that than anything in my career. But that was about me, and the other 80% of my career had to grow way past that.
