An Interactive Creative Director in New York City

I am that all too rare commodity: The innovative creative director who years ago successfully crossed from traditional advertising to the interactive arena. And it has allowed me to produce strategic executions in an increasingly convergent media environment. I’ve even managed to pick up a few awards along the way.

More important however, is my deep understanding of the strengths intrinsic to various media, and how to leverage them to produce effective, comprehensive, creative solutions. I can inspire, manage and create for every possible channel and produce results that resonate with the desired target.

It’s imperative to explore and invent new media opportunities for brands –by championing creative thinking across all disciplines and embracing and utilizing emerging technology in creative ways –I believe we can narrow the distance between people and brands.

The Last Bus Home.

In the weeks before the M.T.A. vote on proposed cutbacks artist Jason Logan and Miranda Purves an editor at Elle, spent a lot of time on the buses and subways and met people whose jobs or health depended on their routes; many — and it seemed often those most dependent — were unaware that their means of transportation could disappear.

Drawn to this phenomenon of people, behaving for the most part civilly, getting from here to there, side by side. They wanted to find some way to convey the less tangible costs of service cuts and fare hikes.

Here is a visual expression of their observations (pdf), large X’s are adults; small x’s are children.
