PAYSTUBS: A HISTORY

Now:

Because not unlike Chappell Roan, Santa Monica was calling me. Back in LA with Mother working on Meta, Buick, SONIC, and whatever other fun projects fall across my proverbial desk (bonafide kitchen-sitter, here). Was it LA I missed…or just the fresh-baked cookies at Lime?

Almost now:

Spent 3 years in Portland livin’ life on east coast hours with the wonderful folks at Arts & Letters in RVA. A beautiful reminder that ads transcend time[zones] and space, not unlike love.

Time sorta didn’t exist here:

With Deutsch LA in 2020 where we turned Taco Bell’s CEO into a potato and did mukbangs with bearded dragons. How was your year?

Are we there yet:

“Oh no, now I’m a writer and have to write things?!” Luckily, starting your official creative career in cheese is about as good as it gets.

Getting there:

Enticed by their snack selection, I joined 72andSunny as an account person, working on Google and Activision. I thought the writers were funny and smart and thought, “Hey I want to be funny and smart.” So I went to portfolio school and badgered my superiors until they let me write.

Then:

Driven by a refusal to grow up, I began my career in marketing for Disney Princess toys at Jakks Pacific. I was there when Frozen came out, which people in the biz referred to as “a Halley's Comet of the toy world.” So, I’ve seen Halley’s Comet.

Somewhere in between:

After 18 years of Damp Jeans™, I attended USC in Los Angeles where I studied International Relations and Global Business with a minor in Intercultural Breakfast Burritos. Huckleberry Cafe forever has my heart.

Way back:

I hail from the Pacific Northwest, specifically a northeastern suburb of Seattle called Woodinville where I spent my formative years chasing quails with my friends.
