Hello, I’m Spencer.
You might be thinking, “Another straight, white, male Creative Director.”
But I’m more than that. I’ve spent my career focused on becoming a passionate and empathetic leader who advocates for talented people creating brilliant work while maintaining mental health. But don’t take it from me, check out what others have said.
I currently lead the Brand & Environments team at NewGround, but over the last 15+ years, I’ve spent time in roles focusing on Brand development, environmental design, retail visual merchandising, advertising, UX and Consumer Packaged Goods. More recently, my role is as a Creative and Departmental lead balancing staffing, allocation, project management, P&L and billing all while setting the high bar for Design and delivery.
In my free time I love to cook, read, travel, ride my bicycle and spend time in nature.
Below are a few of my favorite books:
The Wisdom of Insecurity, Alan Watts
Dare to Lead, Brene Brown
Visual Thinking, Temple Grandin
The Book of Delights, Ross Gay
Will Not Attend, Adam Resnick
