Since 2011, I have been an independent Creative Director, Writer, Producer, and Digital Brand Strategist. My areas of specialty include branding/messaging, content strategy, website development and digital video. I offer best-in-class thinking for clients looking for work (and a working relationship) that's honest, fun and rewarding for the both of us. I am blessed to count in my network some amazing talent I can bring together quickly, efficiently and affordably to achieve singular and specific marketing objectives for you whether you're an agency or a client seeking a fresh, more innovative and effective strategy for your marketing programs.
