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

I’m an ECD 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.

Before that, I’ve had a wide-ranging career spent solving a variety of business problems with creativity.

I’ve worked on some of the world’s biggest brands and helped create brand new ones from the ground up. I’ve led big teams at top creative agencies and cobbled together small ones to make miracles happen on shoestring budgets. I’ve helped startup founders articulate their purpose and given them the words and the visuals to tell their company’s stories. I’ve helped launch some pretty amazing technology products that a lot of us use every day. And I’ve won lots of shiny creative awards at all the major shows.

My best work has defined a brand’s purpose, connected to culture, and told a story that people care about… With ideas that have staying power.

I feel incredibly lucky to have worked with so many smart and talented teammates, collaborators, and clients along the way.

And when I’m not working, I’m probably running around chasing a toddler. Or running around chasing my next marathon PR.
