“I seek to live a purposeful life, built on creativity, authenticity and conviction. I’m interested in collaborating with talented people who challenge me to think differently. 

I was lucky to grow up abroad - born in Nigeria, stops in Ivory Coast, Taiwan, Hong Kong and then London for most of my grade school years, the Bay Area for high school. College at Middlebury, Masters at Oxford. 

I started my career as a singer/songwriter and composer, signed to RCA and then Geffen. After managing my own interactive media creative shop, I joined Select in Burlington, VT, where I’ve been proud to team with brilliant creatives to solve sticky brand challenges for some of the world’s most beloved brands.
