What's up?

Oh, hey. I'm Tina, a writer, thinker, and creative problem solver — whether it's in the form of digital, traditional, or the latest #trend #dujour. And even after many, many (too many) years in the biz, "solving it" still excites me, from strategic concepting at 3500 ft. to getting fully in the dirt.

Beyond making ads, the craft of authentic storytelling — either with words or without — has always fascinated me. Anything has the potential to tell a great story. A home. A hair style. A glance. And yes, even an ad. A great story can stir up all the feels, from pee-your-pants laughter to gut-wrenching heartache, and everything in between. And when it's done well…well, it's magic.

As a seasoned creative who’s worked at agencies all over Chicago, NYC, and now from various rooms of my house (lookin’ at you, global pandemic), I've become a ninja at adapting to any situation, diving head first into new challenges, and collaborating with all sorts of personalities.

In other words, I can hit the ground running.

And yes, over the years I’ve worked on some "sexy" brands at some big-name shops, and racked up a few awards. All fine and good, but at the end of the day, making stuff that resonates with folks is the real goal (and in turn, will be what gets them to champion your brand. Amirite?). If you agree, let’s make some magic together. ✨
