Yeah, I have a math degree.

But much to the chagrin of my ex-Soviet immigrant parents, I am still not an engineer or a doctor.

Sorry mom, but I’ve been a little busy with: copywriting & cooking up creative (at agencies, in-house, and freelance), a book editing stint, living in 8 cities, and somehow getting sent on a nationally organized press tour of Kazakhstan for European journalists.

(I’m neither European nor a journalist).

Now, I’m an ACD in the big city – having worked with Dwayne Johnson’s tequila company, Kevin Bacon’s nonprofit, and a Ritz Carlton property. How fancy pantsy.

But ultimately, I’m just here searching for those ideas… You know the ones. That get you to lean back in your chair, let out a smile, and ask, “how’d you even…?!”

Yeah, it’s been a helluva adventure so far. You in for the next chapter?
