Hey, I’m Steve.
Creative leader
slash girl Dad
slash marathon runner.

I’m a Senior Director / Executive Creative Director at Pinterest, helping to make the world a more inspired, positive place.

Within our House of Creative in-house agency, I lead teams across ad campaigns, content, brand design, and digital marketing. Over the past 18 months, our internal team has transformed into a leading creative organization — winning our first Webby Awards, ranking as a top-10 Brand-Side agency at The One Show, and being named ‘Brand Side Agency of the Year’ by the Gerety Awards.

Over the past 20 years, I’ve led globally recognized campaigns, launched innovative technology products, scaled startups, and helped leading brands like Google, Nike, and Apple tell their stories. Along the way, I’ve built and led teams on both the brand and agency side, creating award-winning work that works for the business.

My best work has defined a brand’s purpose, connected meaningfully to culture, and shaped its role in people’s lives.

And ultimately, I feel fortunate to have worked with so many smart and talented teammates, collaborators, and clients along the way who believe in the power of great work.

Outside of work, I’m probably running around chasing my superhero daughter… Or possibly my next marathon PR.
