I’m Dawn, an ad agency executive who is part strategist, part storyteller, and entirely creative. I bring imagination and intention to every project, blending big ideas with sharp execution and just the right dose of wit and authenticity.
Throughout my career, I’ve helped brands find their voice and guided creative professionals in discovering their rhythm. In the process, I’ve built award-winning teams and contributed to the growth of one of the largest woman-owned, woman-led advertising agencies in Texas. While I take pride in the work, I’m even prouder of the talented people behind it.
My love for storytelling began early in life. I was that kid who wore out VHS tapes watching commercials, movies, and music videos on repeat. That obsession turned into a passion and eventually led me to become an executive creative director. Over the years, I’ve directed hundreds of video projects across civic, education, healthcare, and travel industries, helping shape how people perceive the world and what actions they take next.
What truly lights me up is giving back. For more than 25 years, I’ve mentored creatives, served on national and local boards, and championed change in the arts, education, and beyond. Whether advocating through AIGA National or cheering on girls at Girls Inc. of Tarrant County, I believe in lifting others as I climb.
Currently, I serve as Partner, President, and Executive Creative Director at Alpha Business Images (ABI) in Dallas, Texas, where I also live with my husband, Derek.
