A Jack of all Trades and actually, Master of a Few. I’m primarily an Art Director but I’ve been known to write. I’m a decent photographer but still angling to be better. I used to draw. I’ve learned not to hover. I can lead a team or just sit in the back of the room, take notes and keep quiet. I have a pretty good record for wins on new business pitches, which I actually find to be quite fun. In an hour of need I’ve played the role of producer and account guy (I think because I wear khakis.) Occasionally I’ll add a trophy to the agency’s case. I take it upon myself to make sure there’s always a fresh pot of coffee in the office. I also cut my own hair.
