2002-2005 and 2006-2008, I spent my life as a freelancer. Fortunately, my time at W+K meant I knew a lot of ECDs at agencies across the country and around the world. I did work for Wieden + Kennedy globally, Anomaly, Leagas Delaney, Publicis, Publicis Hal Riney, FCB, Y&R, Doremus, etc. I also did some direct work for ESPN, Fox Sports, NYTimes, Boston Globe, PC Magazine and others.

More often than not, my services were requested for new business pitches. Since I didn't produce it, I typically don't put it in my book. But I've helped agencies win car accounts, beer accounts, apparel accounts, financial services accounts and even managed to help pull in a pharma account (thought I'm pretty sure I don't want to do that again.) I built a print and digital campaign for PC Magazine to position them at the top of the tech pyramid. I was asked to build some simple banners for the New York Times to launch Great Homes and ended up building an entire design infrastructure for all external advertising.
