About

Hey there! My name is Cody. I'm a San Francisco-based Creative Lead with over 12 years of experience in design and creative management. I've worked closely with a variety of brands including: Apple, PayPal, Afterpay, Kia, LG, Febreze and a handful of others. My work in web, social and digital innovation has been awarded numerous times and recognized by the advertising and design community. I have a passion for leading creative teams, creative performance, and driving meaningful change. You can catch me on any given day taking my son to the beach or roasting coffee.
