Hi, I’m Ricky, a writer and creative director.
I make ads for a living, but between us, I hate the idea of making “ads”. I’d like to think my job is to make brands as entertaining and culturally relevant as possible. When I’m not doing that, I’m usually writing sketch comedy, trying to find good ramen or reading Severance fan theories. Often all at the same time.
A behind the scenes glimpse at how the word-sausage gets made.
