I didn’t start my career chasing a title. I started by chasing ideas, learning from great creators around me, and realizing that not fitting neatly into a category could actually be an advantage.

Over the last 25 years, I’ve drawn from my immigrant and Texan roots, my fluency across languages, and the rise of hip hop and urban culture to shape the perspective I lead with today. What once made me an outlier became my strength, allowing me to see across cultures, understand different lived experiences, and bring a more complete picture of people into the work.

Along the way, I stepped outside the agency world to build something of my own. I founded a culture-driven agency and launched Tequila Honor, helping grow it into a nationally recognized brand. That experience sharpened my instincts, expanded my perspective, and reinforced the value of building with intention.

Most recently, as Chief Creative Officer at fluent360, I focused on scaling teams, creating systems for growth, and building environments where talent feels challenged, supported, and empowered to do their best work.

I believe evolution is essential. I’m constantly studying, adapting, and exploring new ways of thinking, from AI and emerging technologies to leadership development and coaching. I’m currently pursuing ACC certification with the International Coaching Federation, focused on helping emerging and mid-level creatives grow into stronger leaders.

My goal now is simple: create the right environment for the best ideas to come to life.
