Hey there, I’m Courtney.
I'm a freelance Creative Director with 19 years of experience building brands through strategy, design, and storytelling. I partner with clients to develop campaigns from concept to execution, combining creative leadership with AI-powered production to bring ideas to life in new ways.
Before freelancing, I spent ten years at VaynerMedia, where I grew into a Creative Director role leading integrated campaigns across CPG, beauty, finance, travel, tech, and retail. Earlier in my career, I worked as an Art Director at Martha Stewart and started out as a Copywriter at Bloomingdales.com, giving me a foundation in both visual storytelling and writing.
Outside of client work, you'll usually find me making collages, photographing street art, or exploring new creative tools and technologies. Whether I'm experimenting with AI or hunting for inspiration in the real world, I'm always looking for new ways to tell stories that people remember.
