MEL from CREATIVE
Seasoned, strategic, technically savvy creative executive, and a skilled designer, art director, and photographer with experience spanning agencies, design and branding studios, startups, and reportage photography assignments.
My background provides an intuitive, unique, and medium-agnostic appreciation for how work is made, from inception thru launch. With broad category expertise ranging from finance, to CPG, technology to healthcare, I’m equally adept in pitch war rooms, executive suites, on location, and leading cross-functional creative groups.
I’ve been a juror for several major awards, including Cannes, Clios, D&AD, One Show, London International Awards and a slew of others. When I’m not working or judging, you will find him doing the Stone Cold Stunner on his son, or trying to do the latest TikTok dances with his daughter.
