Hello. Thank you for stopping by. I guess this means you want to know more about me. I am an Advertising Creative Director/Art Director. I’ve been making Kimchi lately and have upped my wood working skills quite a bit. I spent years training to become a firefighter only to become an art director. Funny how things work out. I’ve been working at RPA for the last 6 years coming up with ideas and overseeing them too. Before then I worked at TBWA/CHIAT/DAY LA and Saatchi LA where I made some great work. Thanks for stopping by. If you want to keep in touch: kirkwmail@gmail.com.
