Hi there, I’m Brooke.

Curious, artistic, expressive; a round peg amongst square holes… that’s me.

I’m “the girl next door to the girl next door” (it’s my personal tagline- we all need one). I’ve always been unconventional in my habits and ways of thinking, (i.e. I’m the yearly recipient of the “To our unique daughter on her birthday” card from my parents). This doesn’t just make me the “good weird”, it makes me a great creative problem solver and copywriter. And I feel grateful and lucky that I get to do that for a living.

My portfolio is a snapshot of the work I’ve done over the years at some great agencies (PIA, vitro, Taco Truck) as well as some of my student projects at the San Diego Portfolio Studio. I’m proud of it, but it’s just a glimpse of the potential I have yet to fill. I’m ready and excited to keep building on my creativity, refining my craft, delivering effective and outstanding work for exceptional brands, and having fun while doing it.

I’ve been in the advertising world for over 8 years, and I still get giddy when I get my hands on a new creative brief.

Some other tidbits:

I’m a Sr. Copywriter with Art Direction chops. (Double the threat, double the fun.)

Graduate of The Ohio State University. Go Bucks!

I love making art. Check out my pop-surrealist collages here.

Beach volleyball, golf, and live music are a few of my favorite things.

Quotes:

“Brooke has unlimited potential. She has the creative chops, positive attitude and commitment to achieve phenomenal things in her work and career. Her POV is extremely valuable to the agency and gives us a unique perspective that nails the millennial audiences.”

- Craig Alshin, CD PIA Agency

“Brooke is a creative genius.”

- My Dad during his retirement speech

“Check out this photo. If you can’t tell who the bandit-slash-writer of the spot is… she didn’t even know she was allowed on set (the “crowd” factor) until we hastily called her in to the office the morning-of. She arrived, no complaints, ready to do whatever she could to help. Her recognizable smile is still barely detectable underneath that bandana. Any guesses? Seeing this, a thought occurred to me: during these times, a mask doesn’t hide character, but reveals it.” 

– Brian Dunaway, ECD Vitro
