Interests
Art, Design & Making Stuff
I've been an artist my whole life. I actually got into business school with an art portfolio. I'm most practices in graphic design, pen & ink, stenciling, traditional painting, film and woodworking.
I bring creation, and in particular design-thinking, into how I craft strategies, plans and visions for the teams and clients I work with.
