>SUM: 

I like to craft the BIG IDEA, package it and sell it. I like connecting with energetic, passionate folks who want to do the same. A proven brand-builder I approach content with an editor’s eye for detail, storytelling and consistency. But mostly I enjoy penetrating that magical nexus where art and commerce collide. Discovering what’s working and why and how it affects that SEE-ME-PICK-ME-BUY-ME reaction in audiences. I’ve participated in the prototyping, development and launch of many a national brand amassing experiences across a wide range of categories including SPORTS, STYLE, TRAVEL, CULTURE, FOOD and more. From publication design to UX, phone and web to corporate branding and identity to curation and strategy I do it all. Still want more? Let’s chat. Better yet, come walk my garden with me while I whip us up a Negroni.
