For more than a decade, I’ve helped people get jobs. I’ve helped companies like Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, IDEO, and Facebook hire and manage teams, and as a certified career coach, I help job seekers land the jobs they want. CAREER COACHING Pulling from my recruiting & creative management background, I coach creative individuals and agencies internationally. I specialize in coaching advertising art directors, copywriters and graphic designers, so they can see themselves get the recognition they deserve, hear about themselves in their industry, and finally feel satisfied even when they've felt stuck. CREATIVE RESOURCING Since my time at Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, I can’t shake my love for recruiting, creative services, and operations. That’s why you’ll occasionally see me take on a contract to help a company build their design group. While managing the creative department at Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, the department grew from 65 to more than 170 employees. It was a rush building teams and allocating resources for the close to $2 billion in agency new business billings won in less than one year – plus attending to the needs of the billions in "old business" billings that same year. In 2008, the agency’s partners honored me as one of the top 30 employees (out of more than 600 people). During my time at IDEO, I recruited and assigned design contractors – growing the freelance network of active designers by 16% within the first 14 weeks of restructuring creative operations. Then, at The Factory (Facebook’s in-house advertising group), I worked closely with leads to manage workload across multiple groups including select projects for the Social Good Group and Internet.org. To support an increased project volume, the number of creatives actively working on projects more than doubled in less than one year. Feel free to connect about career coaching or creative resourcing.
