This is me in a nutshell.
Help. I’m in a nutshell.
I spent over a decade working at The Martin Agency and 22squared. In 2016, I went rogue and have been freelancing with great brands and agencies ever since.
As an English major from Davidson College, I believe in drinking games and honor codes. I like exercising, watching shows, eating Cool Ranch Doritos, being in fresh air, and cooking plant-based meals my kids mostly hate.
