Founder + Managing Director, Strategy + Production

I’m a reluctant Hoosier + dry-witted outdoor enthusiast who would love to talk to you about beer, Euchre, old Land Cruisers + how to pronounce my last name. I’m also a creatively driven brand marketing Swiss Army Knife with 15+ years of experience across a bevy of industries, including food, retail, tech + travel.
Before co-founding Foul Mouth Creative, I spearheaded award-winning work for the likes of Ace Hardware, Alaska Airlines, Adobe, Amazon, Chili's, Kraft Heinz, Sling TV, + Weber. I’m equally passionate about building brands + bringing stories to life with craft across full-funnel campaigns that drive business results.
You’ll like working with me because I’m strategic, unflinchingly accountable, painfully organized + proactive by default. Having fun with smart people while solving business problems is what keeps me in this game. Oh + the freedom to swear at work.

Founder + Creative Director, Art + Design

Hello! It’s Tessa, the art + design piece of the Foul Mouth pie. I’ve had a nontraditional journey as a self-taught advertising human who didn’t realize ad school was a thing as a wee grad.
I got my start in the golden era of social media as a content strategist/creator for brands like Naked Juice, Mattel + Honda before I bee-lined it for the world of creative advertising with agencies like Heat + Mekanism. There, I found my way to design + creative director leading concepting, execution + production for brands like method, Dropbox, Gamestop, PAX Labs, Frida + Weber. With a strategically driven creative brain, my weird path has become one of my biggest strengths. I can be nimble with big + small budgets, turning beautiful, wild (+ smart) concepts into production realities.
Find me outdoors on foot, snowboard, or river float, head bobbing with strangers at a local music venue, thumbing through dollar record bins, or taking way too many photos of my dog, Bowie.

Founder + Creative Director, Copy

Oh hi there. I'm a mom x 2, creative director, copywriter + (sometimes) a commercial director.
I’ve done work for some of the largest agencies + brands around — some of the little guys too. I’ve worked for Crispin Porter + Bogusky, Deutsch LA, Mekanism, DonerLA + a little production shop in Seattle called World Famous. I’ve developed campaigns + led creatives teams for clients like Alaska Airlines, Target, Amazon, Netflix, Old Navy, VitaminWater, Digiorno Pizza + Frida Mom.
My work has won Cannes Lions, OneShow Pencils, AICP Best Web Film, a couple ADDYs, Webbys + has been spoofed by Saturday Night Live. Best part: I got the 1st lactating nipple on network TV. Not my nipple. But a nipple.
I live in Seattle, but I grew up all over the world + was always the new kid in school. While this means I spend a lot of money on therapy, it also means I can quickly navigate the nuances between diverse cultures, people — + conveniently — brand-building. Bonus!
