For the past 14 years, I have continued to refine a holistic and nimble approach to identifying and leveraging the unexplored strengths of newbie and mature brands so they can (re)invent themselves with confidence through their digital experiences. I apply this approach equally to mentoring other Designers as I do consulting a client.

I care deeply about demystifying “capital D”, Design, and making the process and its value accessible to all.
