About Me

3 year-old me came run-crying to my dad. I was stung by a bee, but I was also so upset I couldn't communicate what happened. I grabbed a crayon and paper and drew that infernal bee. Art became how I talked to the world.

A few years after moving to Los Angeles, I was working at a company that was having a lot of communication issues with cross-functional teams. I reorganized everyone, and deliveries that used to take months was getting done weekly. Three Emmy Nominations later I moved on to multi-million dollar projects in advertising, then broadcasting, then telecommunications, and recently blockchain.

I realized my skill set wasn't using art to tell stories, it is about using the tools of a creative to solve problems. I shine brightest when the challenges are the weirdest. I find solutions that make good product great.
