“A successful brand campaign should make you feel something.”

— Garrett Fleming

Jake Arnold X Crate & Barrel

Tap the image above to explore the campaign.

Told within the context of our brand shoot coming together in LA, the story I developed began with product sketches and finished with beautiful rooms, highlighting how Jake created his collection along the way.
I created the campaign idea, directed Jake on set and wrote clear, captivating copy for all channels. I also infused Jake’s expert POV into the launch through pull quotes. The result? A launch that far exceeded sales projections.

Lucia Eames X Crate & Barrel

Tap the image above to explore the campaign.

To launch our collection celebrating Lucia Eames (Yes, that Eames.) I created a campaign centered around exclusive glimpses into each of the artists’s playful designs and her creative process.
I lead a team to develop striking video and still imagery using sketches and portraits from the artist’s rarely seen archive. I also interviewed the Eames family and translated our conversations into intriguing marketing messaging that resulted in a rich collection page and top-performing social and email content.

Shinola X Crate & Barrel

Tap the image above to explore the campaign.

Build it well or not at all. Just like Crate, Shinola is committed to craft and quality. I rooted this campaign in our shared love of the make.
To highlight the story of each thoughtful detail, I immersed myself in the product. Writing in a staccato, direct tone gave the launch an authoritative, fresh POV.

Miller Lite

It’s the only light beer with fewer calories and more taste than its competitors. It’s also the only American light beer not getting killed in the market. So for our TV spots, we focused on the brand creds, made those cans look crisp and kept things simple. Just like Miller Lite.

State Farm

To increase State Farm’s market share amongst small business owners I produced a series of online videos that took big business terms and applied them to small biz life—all under State Farm’s overall brand platform "Here to Help ___ Go Right."

McDonald's

Nearly 75% of millennials had never tasted a Big Mac. The irreverent daily content I art directed for the "Think with Your Mouth" Facebook page got meat on more minds and increased Big Mac sales by 8%.

Harley-Davidson

What do you do when you can’t host your yearly keynote in person? You take it online. I produced nearly 50 films, including live panel discussions and product demos, for H-D 2021, the brand’s first-ever virtual tradeshow.
