1: the direction to go for building brands: the team needed a creative resource with uncompromising work ethic, so they turned starkwords for help.
As a Creative Director & Writer on any team, I’m a champion of simple ideas, collaboration, and strong creative work—all without letting ego get in the way. I make it my business to ensure that fun, optimism and possibilities prevail in the face of fear and mediocrity. I expect my teammates to do the same.
“If you’re not having fun, you’re doing something wrong.”
