I believe the sky’s the limit when it comes to creative ideation. Collaborative brainstorming is exciting when all participants have a stake in the creative outcome. Some of the best outcomes begin as a doodle or sketch. Whether working remotely or on-site the excitement that comes with creative problem solving is a reward all its own.

It all begins with an idea. The execution of any concept or idea is knowing the resources to make it happen. I have extensive experience in outsourcing creative.

As a kid in the 1960’s, the television was my teacher. An encyclopedic knowledge of pop culture has always been a large part of my zeitgeist. My love of illustration and painting were the reasons I went to art school. I still paint; landscapes and historical scenes.
