“As an art director I take the documentary lens and humanistic lens and I translate that vision into the content. The people clients are trying to reach are the same populations that I have developed my work about. Brand messages land when we understand our audiences intimately – their needs, aspirations, and goals. As a documentarian and as a creative, I’ve learned how to craft messaging for hard-to-reach and culturally complex audiences.”
