My story

Over the past 20+ years, I have had the fortune of being able to work with and learn from really talented people—those that offered me chances and pushed my abilities. I’ve also had the opportunity to lead and help people, teams, and companies find and realize their own potential.

I began my career in graphic design, discovering my talents well suited for website design. In fact, I was a Flash (remember Flash?) genius. Even with design, however, I was never about the shapes or the colours (although typography is still an obsession), I cared most about the story behind the work. Good stories are good stories. So to ensure my focus stayed there, I shifted my development to writing.

Good writing is hard. I continue to work at it every day. But I've told some very good stories over my career—online, in film and radio, print, in design. I’even picked up a few awards in both categories. I’m lucky my background has prepped to tell stories no matter the medium. I love writing screenplays, but I can also build a pretty great Figma prototype or build a website from scratch (like this one) if that’ the best way to deliver a message.

No matter what I’ve done to now, there are still big creative things I want to do and achieve. That doesn't happen alone. Creating with others is the best feeling in the world. That’s why this site exists.
