About me!

Hi, I’m Chesney (like chess-knee). Also like Kenny (but my parents named me after my Grandma, not the country singer). I’m a Senior Art Director at BBDO with a background in creative advertising and photography. I have a little bug in my ear that screams when things don’t look aligned, so I have a ferocious attention to detail and a love of layouts that make a viewer’s cortisol levels lower. I love making work that my non-ad friends notice out in the wild before I bombard them with links to watch.

When I’m not overheating my computer by running Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects simultaneously, you might find me snowboarding in Vermont, behind a pottery wheel, or insisting that 'we deserve this’ while I talk my friends into another night of dinner and drinks in the city.
