✨Make stuff that sneaks past your brain & hits you in your heart.™ ✨

So here’s the problem: people are bored to death. It’s our job to get them "un-bored" & I’m convinced that making stuff smart or pretty isn't enough — if our work doesn't connect at a deeper, human level, it'll be forgotten in half a thumb swipe.

It’s simple in theory but hard to achieve. Though “creative" is in our job descriptions, sometimes the system wants formulaic work that feels like math. But... I want to make magic, not math; & making stuff that “hits you in your heart" is a magic trick of the highest order.

Creative magic is to be respected, recognized, & rigorously pursued. It's good for business, it impacts culture, & it’s just plain fun.

This is a team sport, & it’s possible to infect the people around you with creativity. My work now is about inspiring & curating great ideas, setting my teams up to be the most interesting storytellers in the biz, & helping the world’s best brands sneak into some hearts.
