About

I lead Brand & Creative at BILL, an AI-powered financial automation platform serving the Fortune 5 Million. My organization spans brand strategy, design, copywriting, and creative operations, with a focus on building scalable brand systems and driving measurable impact across the full funnel. I set vision and direction for a high volume of work including integrated campaigns, growth marketing, product launches, content and influencer programs, and experiential and event design.

In addition to creative leadership, I oversee agency strategy and partnerships and drive the evolution of creative operations—scaling output through AI-enabled workflows, automation, and a flexible vendor ecosystem designed for speed, quality, and consistency.

Previously, I served as an Executive Creative Director at Amazon, where I helped set design and brand direction for global brands including Prime and AWS, working across complex, cross-functional organizations at massive scale. Earlier in my career, I founded and scaled Hum Creative into a nationally recognized agency, leading brand, strategy, and digital work for companies and purpose-driven organizations such as Theo Chocolate, KEXP, and REI.
