Creativity leads to greater personal fulfillment and joy in our lives. I’m spreading the word.

If you represent an AIGA chapter, business, conference, university or school, let’s chat.

My presentations are positive in tone, visually engaging, and provide practical value. Presentations usually range anywhere from 30–60 minutes depending on the audience. Workshops usually run between 2 to 4 hours. Much depends on the topic and level of engagement desired.

BACKGROUND

My experience spans 25 years working as an in-house / agency designer, illustrator, and Art Director. During these years I worked as part of teams in many different industries – corporate training and education, financial services, B2B marketing, and material sciences.

Now, I run my creative studio full-time. I’m using everything I've learned in my career to deliver on promises to my valued clients and patrons.
