About Me

I’m Curious.

When you follow curiosity, you develop the skill of noticing. I’ve made a career of it. 

Noticing is versatile. Add writing for storytelling, dynamic perspective and dogged follow-thru for research, people skills, organization, and vision for creative production, design thinking and leadership for problem solving and building. 

I transform the vast and confusing into the simple and engaging. It's why I’ve worked with experts including astronauts, physicists, race car drivers, and factory workers. I've helped iconic brands find their voice, innovators deliver their messages to the right audiences, web3 founders ask the right questions, robust design teams change their perspective, and audiences around the world learn how their world and the people within it work. 

My work, and life, is often driven by the question “Is that even possible?” I’ve paddled from Buffalo, New York to New York City, ridden an electric skateboard from NYC to Philadelphia, bike packed across New York State, worked full-time from the back of my truck over 30,000 miles of American back roads, explored the bleeding edge of the internet, designed for emotions, and told stories for, and in, every medium.

I demystify, I simplify, I solve, and I share. 

I’m fast on my feet, collaborative, and humble enough to ask questions. 

I work to solve emerging problems with creative and collaborative solutions where that work needs to be done: behind a keyboard, at a research desk, in print or digital, in a prototyping lab, in front of a camera or microphone, and with creative, strategy, and design teams.

When you take the time to notice, you see the things that can be improved, and the futures that can be built.
