My aim in 2003 was to form an un-agency — a collective of top notch freelance creatives representing a variety of skill sets to provide a full spectrum of marketing expertise to clients. Since then, I’ve specialized in brand development and execution from the ground up, and have been instrumental in establishing global brands in mountain biking such as the Enduro World Series and Crankworx, and arts and culture festivals such as Squamish Wind Festival, Whistler Jazz Fest and Whistler’s Great Outdoors Festival. During this time, I also lent my skills to countless real estate projects as a brand builder.The life of a sole proprietor is a case study in evolution. Over the years, I’ve become an expert generalist; adaptable to changing technology without getting bogged down in the noise, and nimble enough to deploy left- or right-brain skills (or both) to tasks as needed. I'm also deeply community-minded, devoting time to boards and committees as well as pro-bono projects for non-profits. Collaboration and riffing on ideas lights my fire. I consistently excel in fast-paced environments of all sizes and am adept at planning, deadline management and motivating colleagues.
