TLDR: I am a curious, enthusiastic, start-with-a-blank-canvas kinda creative and an empathetic leader with over 20 years service.

The early years of my career took me from bar work to retail, local government to engineering, journalist to designer, and finally settled down and whittled a nest in creative. Most of my work life has been spent in design and art direction; as a freelancer, agency perm, in house, out house, online, offline, through the line and sometimes close to the line. And in as many different formats as you can imagine. Combine all that with a love for language and words that never quite died and a touch of imposter syndrome, and the result is a love for creativity in all its forms, and an insatiable hunger to come up with the best creative possible, that solves problems for clients and audiences and wows in its execution.

I don’t like to blow my own trumpet, but these people have had some nice things to say about me.
