Maybe you have an idea for a site, application, or system, but you don't know where to begin. Well you've come to the right place. I'll translate your ideas into actionable wireframes, mockups, journey maps, scenarios, user flows, and functional prototypes. While in development, I'll solicit user feedback to suggest improvements for new iterations. By the time we release, your developers will be buying you a cake and your users will be tweeting their praise.
So the boss needs you to make a video for the retirement party? You need a commercial but don't know where to start? Netflix is interested in your series idea, but they want to see a sizzle reel? I've worked on numerous film productions over the years, some won awards, some slipped into obscurity, but all of them were legally complete projects with permits, releases, contracts, and clearances. I'll help you bring your vision to life.
You've got a world class group of subject matter experts and a rockstar development team. You see the knowledge gaps in your existing training and your staff are becoming bored with the current materials. I'll elevate your training from slideshows to entertainment that engages, informs, and challenges. Don't know how to bring it all together? I'll take care of the production side too, from wrangling creatives to roping contracts, there's no task to tall for this cowboy.
I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the greatest web developer in the world. But I did learn enough to assemble this website you are reading. So if your interested in something like this, let's talk. While I may not be able to hack together a revolutionary app, master the full stack, or hardcode your project from scratch, I can collaborate with your developers and speak a little of their language. Unless they speak Klingon, I don't speak Klingon.
A creative problem solver who thrives in environments where innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning are highly valued. I've worked with major brands, scrappy startups, and just about everyone in between. My clients often say I'm a valuable resource who works efficiently, provides candid insights, and possesses strong creative and organizational skills. Friends tell me I generate a lot of ideas, have a knack for getting along with others, and never stop moving.
Originally from Overland Park, Kansas, I relocated to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada in 2015. I'm super polite, love to ski, value inclusivity, and dip nearly everything in gravy, so Canada was a natural fit. If I'm not working hard on your projects, you'll find me enjoying my free time by reading, learning new skills, musing about metaphysics, gardening, screen printing, painting, writing, mountain biking, running ultramarathons, and producing electronic music.
I'm a seasoned digital leader who uses a wide array of experience, education, interests, and creative thinking to help companies build stronger brands, improve user experiences, and gain more customers.

I've gained experience on a wide range of digital projects over the years and am always on the hunt for my next adventure.
