WHAT DO YOU DO?

createMAGICIALthings

To some it's magic.  It's usually called Creative Direction, Brand Strategy and Design.  My experience resides with global brands across multiple channels, categories, demographics and platforms. My perspective is shaped by the breadth of that experience in trade and consumer marketing including digital, events and experiences, and product development. My success has come from collaborating, creating, and enhancing diverse brands.  I’m most interested where people, process, creativity overlap. Your needs are hopefully represented here.  Either way, let's talk.

YOUR STRENGTHS?

 CREATIVE VISION: My "Wizard Eyes" see trends, alignment, and narratives.

LEADERSHIP:  Hands-off teamwork!  Left hand to clear obstacles.  Right hand points ever forward.

LISTENING: Despite the ringing in my ears,  I have ears for a good story, emotional connection, detail and music.

FINDER of CONNECTIONS: 2+2=5

MULTIDISCIPLINARY: I drape, draw, pluck, noodle, scat, build, craft and play.  It sometimes inspires something fresh.
