About Me

Hi. I’m Patrick.


I can blend high-concept creativity with strategic thinking. Balance craft with common sense. I can do long-form, I can do short-form. I can do social, digital, and print. Trained as a copywriter, I love thinking visually too.

But at the end of the day, I’m just a guy who likes words.


In my spare time I can be found making music, studying 한국어, and chasing after my nephew in the park.


Do I actually moonlight as an action hero? Maybe. I’ll never tell.
