"INFORMATION x IMAGINATION…"

TRANSFORMATIVE STORYTELLING!

My process views each project as a unique entity that requires an earnest strategy to achieve its creative potential—in the end, providing readers, viewers and gamers with specialized, satisfying  material that captures their hearts and minds by melding—and enhancing—the intangible qualities that breathe life into a property.


This means not only embracing the freedom of an unshackled imagination, but also the discipline to do the research imperative in understanding what elements of a brand’s DNA truly make it tick, and how that can be incorporated within the trends of the current market. 


Through this INFORMATION x IMAGINATION approach, my knowledge, diverse skillsets and artistic instinct allow me to spotlight, as well as celebrate the unique identity and creative reality of each and every project I take on—generating dynamic content that's intelligent, balanced and ultimately “works!"


It’s not just about selling product or making entertainment. 


It’s CREATING an EXPERIENCE…INSPIRING ENGAGEMENT…and ESTABLISHING an IDENTITY!
