Bio

As a brand experience consultant and often labeled as a creative dark knight, I’m passionate about connecting the dots within the world of design, branding, and technology, so that we all can keep aiming always upward.

By leveraging over 19+ years of lessons learned in communication design, software programming, and architecting brand experiences to help individuals and teams fill the gaps in building the loveable experiences, products, and cultures that people can fall in love with.

During my career I’ve had the opportunity to facilitate a variety of customer experience solutions involving developing creative teams, strategies, visual designs and software platforms for brands of all sizes from Avis, Merriam-Webster, and Walmart/Sam’s Club all the way to the startup owner with a passion to make the world better.

As a result, I’ve had the opportunity to share the tough lessons learned about entrepreneurship, team building, personal development, and brand storytelling with individuals and teams across the country as well as on a variety of platforms and publications such as Brand Strategy Insider, The Orlando Business Journal, WordPress.tv, Thrive Global, and The Good Men Project.

Specialties: Design, Branding and Identity, Brand Strategy, Diversity-Equity and Inclusion, User Experience Design.
