Challenge
Turn a new product-level positioning into an always-on awareness engine across paid social, streaming, and online video — at volume, without diluting the brand.
Idea
Three distinct campaign concepts engineered to flex across every format, so one system could scale to dozens of assets and still feel intentional.

Challenge
Make Discover’s Home Loans and Personal Loans sites the authoritative destination for the category’s highest-value searches — and convert that visibility into applications.
Idea
Treat search as a creative brief, not a technical checklist — direct content, UX writing, and experience around what borrowers actually ask, then build external authority.
Craft
Led creative direction across site content, blog, and UX writing — coordinating technical SEO, market research, content creators and an earned-media program with PR to build domain authority.
Approach
Before the casting, the media plan, or the first cut, each of these campaigns began as a positioning problem. I helped shape the brand positioning and architecture that redefined how Discover showed up. That work is proprietary, so it lives off the page — but it’s the reason the campaigns held together: every spot, asset, and page laddered back to a single point of view. That’s the through-line here — creative direction that’s accountable to a strategy and to the bottom line.

I came up through theater and filmmaking, and I’ve spent my career pointing that craft at scale — from campus arts and concert halls to enterprise brand work at Fortune500s like UnitedHealth Group, Optum, Chevron, Capital One and Discover. I direct creative that has to earn attention in culture and answer to the business at the same time, partnering deep with strategy, media, product, tech, and PR. Based in Texas.
