I’m an advertising copywriter and creative director.
To me that means I'm a maker, a debater, a doer, a mentor, a challenger, a leader, and a learner.
I use the serial comma. Otherwise, I generally abuse grammar (as needed) because clarity is key and tone is essential.
Life is too short to waste everyone's time being boring. So let's make something awesome and have fun doing it.
