Hey there, I’m Brooks. A digitally and socially native creative that’s well versed in traditional and integrated media.
I’m into making ideas that feel human, are rooted in strategy, and can live beyond just one medium. Sparking conversation is great, but driving results is the goal. I strive to bring creative leadership that pushes the craft and uplifts others along the way.
10+ years of experience has brought me around the block. From traditional and digital shops, creative and media agencies, to small indies, global networks, and now in-house at one of the world’s largest food and beverage companies.
At the core, I love tackling problems with the best creative solution and spend my day-to-day debating if this should’ve been written in the third person.
