I believe
I believe that good design opens hearts and minds, while bad design breeds cynicism.
I believe that good stories have a profound potential to change how people see themselves and the world.
Finally, I believe you deserve a creative partner who can help you unearth your values, build relationships with your audience, and inspire the change you want to see in the world.
I promise
I promise to be both a reliably creative weirdo and also a practical, accountable business partner. I know the work we create together has to open hearts, minds, and even wallets. That’s why I promise to:
Offer a diversity of mediums and styles
Bring new ideas to the table
Represent you, your company, and your goals
Match your aesthetic
Speak to the psychology of your unique audience
Listen to direction
Intuit the next step
Be on time
Play nice with others
I will meet and exceed any goal set for me, and I will do so while maintaining my central mission: to inspire, encourage, and entertain with all the creative tools at my disposal.
