Creativity solves problems. Over the past 15 years, I’ve led creative teams, art directed visual solutions, and directed a documentary about Vietnam vets—with an MBA adventure somewhere in between. Whether I’m helping businesses find their voice or crafting stories that move people, it’s all about using creative thinking to cut through the static and make something that matters. Strategy meets imagination—that’s where the magic happens.
