A personal project that was started with a few friends - an app that allowed for anonymous social sharing based on proximity. While by today’s standards it’s nothing new, back in 2013, the social landscape was vastly different and we were one of the firsts. While ulimately being overshadowed by other anonymous sharing apps  - Gossup did have some local success at local colleges and even across the pond in the Netherland.  It landed in the #1 spot in the regions iTunes in the app store, even beating out Facebook for a short time. 


Well hey there -

Thanks for stopping by. A quick history of me - I’ve worked on major brands that run the gamut of travel to CPG products and everything in between. Roles range from a digital AOR for a major airline, running the social account for the worlds biggest sports drink (while dabbling in their major campaigns), being apart for a full AOR partner for a beloved regional gas station, and helping a big box store elbow out it’s online competition while becoming more relevant online. 

I’ve been lucky enough to get to concept in a wide range of spaces and am continually amazed and inspired by an industry that is always reinventing itself.
