Quotes
“The big difference between what makes a good creative director and a great creative director in my mind is someone that has empathy and understanding and can communicate with compassion."

"Make shit happen."
"I'm a strong believer in following what really makes your heart race."
"Our model very much allows us to invest in our own ideas and really take control of what we want to see in the world."
