ABOUT DEETS
_work
In a previous life I was a ceramist, glass blower and even a scenic artist. Then I moved to SF in 2005 and started my Big Life in Advertising. I’ve worked at OgilvyOne SF, Organic, Godfrey Q & Partners, Publicis Modem, CBS Interactive, AKQA and Edelman. I then moved on to the design world and became the Creative Director at Noise 13, a branding, strategy, and design firm in San Francisco, built a cannabis brand called Revel & Rouse from the ground up, and took the role of Brand + Marketing Design lead at a tech start-up for a while. Most recently, I am working at Burning Man Project as their Content Manager on the Communications team, managing all the official social media accounts in addition to leading many print and digital graphic design projects.
I am available as a remote Freelance Content Creator + Designer. Get in touch!

I was honored to participate at SXSW 2015 as a mentor in the Social Good Hub, hosted by the 3% Conference. I love opportunities to mentor, and have spoken at several schools to students in the industry.
I also shoot mobile and digital photography, you can see my work on my photography site.
It was seriously awesome to have had one of my photos in the #BWSANFRANCISCO show at the 472 Gallery in San Francisco in 2013.
Three of my pieces were shown in the Vegas From the Hip exhibit at Nevada State College for two months in 2011.
These three pieces then hung in the Barrick Museum.
