Welcome
You know, shouting my own praises isn't really my style. I'd much rather pour that energy into championing others and their brilliant stories. What truly lights me up is enabling those awesome moments – be it through stunning visuals, captivating content, or that perfect, emotionally charged musical score.
I'm not driven by the dollar signs; my rewards are seeing fantastic results and hearing that people are thrilled. I thrive in the background, making sure everything is solid and all the pieces fall into place.
It's like when I play bass – I'm right there in the engine room with the drummer, setting the tempo, pulsing out the right energy, all while happily avoiding the glare of the main stage. That’s how I roll.
Oh, and if I look a bit pensive, quiet, or lost in thought? That’s just my gears turning. Otherwise, watch out – I'm all for some playful troublemaking, sharp wit, and a lively exchange of ideas!

Integrating New Technologies
AI Integrated Graphic Design

I integrate cutting-edge AI tools like Notebook LM into my workflow to generate enhanced content and insights.

3D Design Objects

These objects contained embedded information about product details, they also integrated technical documents and drove product specifications, helping automate the process of design collaboration, influencing future sales pipelines.
Mutual Success Stories
Global Company - Top Line Growth
I played one of the key roles in transitioning a traditional manufacturing organization into a brand-aware marketing powerhouse. I facilitated getting their message into the media, developed integrated marketing campaigns, and created critical 3D design objects to drive product marketing within the architectural sector, automating additional revenue streams. We also built an impressive case study and photography library that inspired future design. This resulted in over 10% compounded annual growth, a significant increase compared to the previous 50 years.
Retiree Health Rein>ented
I reimagined an ongoing conventional print process, converting it into a fully variable digital campaign. This transformation yielded significant results: we saved over $100,000 in freight costs alone and substantially lowered per-page print production expenses, saving hundreds of thousands more. The new digital process reduced the go-to-market time by several weeks and could expand exponentially. The client is benefiting from lower overall unit costs and a significantly reduced risk of manufacturing errors.
Non-Profit Site Branding / Launch
This project was a challenging concept, an organization that sells nothing, offers nothing but yet can have a global impact and tremendous savings. A social media and advertising powerhouse similar to the Ad Council, this organization focuses on personal habits and changing enough of them to impact societal costs like overall health care. The company does pure advertising it is funded only through donations. It's a very different concept of using marketing as a counter narrative to marketing.
Travel Agency
I developed and managed successful integrated marketing campaigns combining digital, print, and variable print elements. This involved processing client data feeds to automatically generate personalized color components, which were then merged into multi-page booklets. This automation significantly boosted client growth potential. For years, I served as the direct client interface while also managing the backend production processes.
