Mission: Take our creative output both onscreen and off and kick it up a notch and make it more effective and more relevant. How do we do that? By being smart about it and getting to the heart of what our clients need to communicate. By figuring out what they want their attendees to walk away with in their heads. That has been my passion. Through video, motion graphics, web, mobile and desktop interactives.

As Manager of Digital Engagements I was tasked with not only being a creator of video, photography, motion graphics and web content but also taking a bigger role into how that content fits into the overall experience for our clients at their events and to find new, creative ways to make that experience amazing. This means growing as a creator and also finding partners that can enhance what we can offer.
