I was an athlete at an art school.
I was a writer at a design school. I am a southern boy that lived in the Big Apple – let's just say, I prefer to be outside of my comfort zone.
I’ve been in the ad industry for 13 years and have experience leading projects and campaigns in ad agencies, in-house firms, and production houses across NYC, Chicago, and Atlanta.
A little history? Well, my initial first love was food and cooking. That turned into photography. That got me to focus on advertising and storytelling — I've been doing that ever since.
Now, I’m onto my next adventure in Seattle. If you’re in need of some writing expertise, I’m available to collaborate.
I'm also big into fantasy sports; you can see if I won my week in fantasy football or baseball here: www.didreid.win
