Hi hi.
My name is
I’m the type of creative that most would call an anomaly. I can ideate, direct, write, design, and capture. I’m welcomed with open arms for those who seek a unicorn. If not, I’m dismissed or frowned upon by folks who prefer a specific aesthetic. I like ALMOST* everything. I want to create everything beautiful, STUNning, iconic, fun, and super f*ing cool. My work in various industries could feel like a melting pot of stuff, but trust me when I say, I got it. I love it. Lets cook.
I’m the kind of creative that obsesses, but let’s call it le passion! I like solving puzzles, learning new things, going down rabbit holes, imagining the what-ifs, and actually doing the labor of exploring the possibilities in practice. I’m the kind of weirdo that will ask you to reclaim the
m-dash from AI, and notice you’re off-center.
I’m the kind of leader who is willing to go deep into the trenches—Lead, carry, and cheer the team through the finish line. I’m the kind of person who’d rather be honest and transparent, nice and actually caring, super serious but unapologetically crack jokes.
I’m the teammate you wouldn’t mind seeing 40+ hrs a week and through 73 iterations of a project.
Excelsior,
Terry.
