Patrick is a visual storyteller, compulsive problem solver and an enthusiastic advocate for legendary ideas.

I am a versatile creative lead and hands-on art director who started in Brand Advertising at Leo Burnett and applied those skills to Brand, Digital, Shopper and Direct Marketing and Visual Design. I’ve had the privilege of managing small, nimble creative teams as well as co-leading a creative department of 25+. Taking a thoughtful, strategic approach, I’ve worked on projects ranging from global campaigns to launching a corner gardening store—enjoyed them all.

"I had the pleasure to work underneath Patrick’s creative direction at Jack Morton. Often navigating shifting client needs and fast strategic pivots, I found Patrick was always able to keep our creative team focused, productive, and working towards innovative creative solutions for clients. What’s more, he always brought us inspired creative territories to explore, he guided the work with clear, helpful feedback that elevated client projects. Through any hectic environments, he still managed to be an extremely supportive mentor to the team, and overall a pleasure to work with. I’ve no doubt that wherever Patrick choose to work next, his expertise, taste-level, and collaborative nature which help that team reach new heights!"

"Patrick is a brilliant talent that offers a high level of conceptual prowess along with the ability to visualize his ideas in a manner that makes them crystal clear. Patrick is a true creative professional who always shows up with solutions and is always on task. He is an intelligent, dependable resource who, along with his creative skills, understands strategy and was able to see the heart of the matter with little effort on my part. He quickly became my "go to guy" while with us, and I hated to see him move on. I would have him back in a heartbeat given the opportunity."
