I began my career in advertising in 2012 as a junior art director, working my way up to creative director in 2 years 9 months. After being recognized at Cannes, The One Show, Art Directors Club, D&AD and other award shows that no one outside of the ad industry cares about, I left to join the startup incubator Techstars NY in January of 2015.
During the intense 3 month program, I co-founded / creative directed a company called Stefan’s Head, and secured funding from the founder of a major fashion brand. In 2018, I co-founded/ creative directed a new company called BABOON TO THE MOON. B2TM was sold in 2023 and can be seen online and at various retailers, including Selfridges (UK), Saks Fifth Ave., MoMA Design Store, Urban Outfitters, Nordstroms and more.
