I figure out
what ideas can do.

The future of creative won’t belong to one discipline. I’ve spent my career moving between them, turning new tools into real work that people can feel, use and remember.

Work

Five projects.
Five lenses.
One creative approach.

From a Super Bowl spot featuring an all-octogenarian cast to asteroid mining past Mars, these projects demonstrate that regardless of subject matter or technological changes, my approach remains the same.

About Jeff

Multidisciplinary
by design.

I’m a creative who has always treated new technology as opportunity.

I started in digital, moved into traditional, slid over to experiential, then dove into gaming—taking everything I learned with me at each step.

Now I balance my time between freelance, being a dad, and making games at Team Bes Games, where I keep experimenting, writing, and building.

Why haven’t I made an ad in a couple of years? Good question. I took a step back and happily became a house husband and father of two.
