Imagination & Mastery
Each of my creations begin with a good idea. My mission, like yours, is to shape an ever changing, ever evolving conversation. That conversation is happening in more and more places, and in more and more ways. And I’m all right with that.

Art Director / Copywriter Team
Need an AD and copywriter? My long time friend and collaborator, Benjamin Roy, is my number one go-to guy.
“Beneath these pretty pictures (click link below to view) you’ll find a flexible, human voice paired with a handful of popular brands. What you won’t find is stiffness, sarcasm, authorial timidity, or colorless prose.
As for me, I enjoy the process of problem solving as much as the problem solved.
I’m interested in partnering with the best and the brightest creative teams, and prepared to do better work than I’ve ever done before.”

Conceptual Strategy
Through research and consultation, I uncover opportunities to grow your brand and engage with your audience. By having initial discovery sessions, I’m able to identify key requirements and help you establish goals for your project. From here I put a plan in place to monitor these goals and grow your product, company, or brand.
Social Media Marketing
I understand how to use Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Flickr, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Myspace, Delicious, Digg, blogs, RSS, Content Management Systems, keyword targeting, page titles & META data, search engine rankings, and web analytics data to make sense of it all.
Creative & Design
It takes a lot more than a cute design to be successful. A successful brand creates a powerful, memorable image that transcends trends. My role is to discover the true spirit of your company’s brand then convey its strengths and personality through mapping out functional, engaging user experiences through careful planning, research, and strategic alignment.
