Description:

As an inherently creative and analytical person who is interested in film, art, video games, photography, music, technology, fashion and anything creative. For five years at The Lambesis Agency, I gained experience working on multiple large domestic and international brands. As Senior Copywriter, I wrote short and long form copy, taglines, and also conceptualized TV commercials, radio spots and brand videos. While at Vapors magazine, I held the position of Editor-In-Chief. Under my guidance, I improved the tone, and the look and feel, resulting in an increase of advertising sales, subscriptions, and popularity. I was in charge of a team of freelance writers and photographers and chose guest artists for special edition issues. I used the experience I gained from the Lambesis Agency to push the creative value of each issue. Recently, I held positions of Copywriter and Online Editor for The Hundreds apparel brand. Here, I wrote product descriptions for the online store each season, press releases, and handled light public relation duties. I also was in charge of contacting and interviewing tastemakers for the brand’s weekly online magazine, The Chronicles. I also was Global Marketing Director for Royal Elastics Footwear, where part of my responsibilities included conceptualizing our seasonal look book and our print ads plus maintaining the brands social media networking and Blog posts. I also was in charge of hiring and overseeing a team of freelance photographers, graphics designers, etc. I have traveled parts of North America, Europe, Mexico and Asia to experience different cultures to expand on my creativity.
