I am a creative manifestor; I dream up things and then I simply make them happen. I use my skills to passionately work in projects that challenge convention, employ true creativity, and enrich the world. I'm an avid multi-dimensional creative thinker, writer, artist, speaker, leader, networker, pirate, dreamer and visual designer.
For the bulk of my career I was an entrepreneur developing and growing companies and concepts I started from scratch. As my companies grew I ended up working together with giant corporations like Google, Twitter, Spotify and IBM but I feel equally proud to have led two non-profits and to have worked with hundreds of experimental studios, freelancers and startups. I'm flexible and adaptable.

I was never a passenger in my industry; From the beginning, I was determined to shape the future of advertising and to take a leading role in evolving and questioning everything in its future.
During the very infancy of the internet I created one of the first online ad industry media magazines named "ihaveanidea" which thrived for over a decade documenting the best creatives of the world. It became the birthplace of the largest and most important talent event in the world— "Portfolio Night" which is still taking place 15 years later.
When award shows became old and antiquated I invented the Tomorrow Awards, the world's first global advertising show without categories designed not study and dissect the best work from around the world. Top brands like Spotify, Twitter and Google got actively participated and the Tomorrow Awards events traveled with great success to Amsterdam, Montreal, NYC and Stockholm.
When the topic of women in the business of advertising was just a mumble I created the 50/50 Initiative (in less than 10 days) which forced a hand on all award shows to have a balanced jury of men and woman, now an industry norm around the world.
When we needed to bring back art and craft into advertising and design I became Executive Director of the Art Directors Club in NYC and brought energy and inspiration that the club had never seen in its 98 year old history. I also created one of the most inspiring creative festivals in the world in Miami Beach— the ADC Festival of Art & Craft.
When the industry needed inspiration I commissioned Laser Cat, a three-story tall inflatable cat art street party installation that toured Barcelona, Brooklyn, D.C. and Miami Beach. Laser Cat projected visual art submitted by people all over the world in the form of a wild interactive party.
When the model of commercial creativity needed a much-needed departure from the norm I invented and developed Giant Hydra, an online creative collaboration tool that broke down the traditional Bernbach copywriter-art model and took it to the new age of online mass collaboration.
A few years ago I founded The Dreamcatchers, a unique travel business that takes people on unique blind-itinerary life-experience journeys in Costa Rica and New Hampshire.
I also run a private online coffee subscription brand named Troubardour.
I look forward to connecting with great people and opportunities.
