Mission: "To make things that inspire people to make and do inspiring things".My creative career has served companies and clients from music and movies to business, while creating deep personal relationships. I'm valued as a visual thinker and storyteller, who loves to get hands-on be it analogue or digital means. I have a preternatural ability to transform high level needs into well crafted thought-out experiences. I believe the areas we find ourselves lacking are often the most fertile for explosive growth. I am a passionate maker and didactic learner, whose creative fire burns brightest at the intersection of art, experience and technology. I have a poor sense of direction with out my phone :-).Things I have done:Spent five years in Los Angeles concepting, designing and building online ad campaigns for major motion pictures. <-- Toured the country, climbed Machu Picchu then moved to Portland, Or. -->. Spent over a year drawing in front of people, talking, sketching, illustrating and animating. Devoted three months to a hacker school to focus on "the code".Career Trivia:• I had a meeting with Tom Hanks at his production studio to discuss his MySpace page, Mathew McConaughey just happen to be there as well (Srsly).• I once kept myself up during a all-night crunch by listening to a Harry Potter fan-cast.• I helped create and bind a beautiful pop-up book as an add-in for an RFP. We still didn't get the project.• I once showed up to an interview exactly 30 minutes late, having no idea I wasn't on time. I still managed to get the job.Feel free to contact me for any of the following reasons.1. Your looking for a hands-on creative thinker interested in connecting-the-dots between strategy, design and technology.2. You have an crazy awesome idea and aren't sure how to implement it or if it's even possible.3.
