With over four decades of experience spanning Hollywood set design, retail strategy at Apple, and high-impact business consulting, I’ve mastered the art of blending creative vision with business acumen. My career reflects a relentless dedication to understanding complex systems and harmonizing creativity and strategy to unlock new potential for businesses.I began my career behind the scenes as the designer of some of Hollywood’s most beloved shows, like Nickelodeon’s “All That” and “Kenan & Kel. " I developed a keen eye for detail and an understanding of how creative vision drives project success. But my ambitions went far beyond production design—I wanted to understand the mechanics of success and became a mentor and trainer, using my knowledge to build high-performing teams.To deepen my understanding of business success, I spent ten transformative years at Apple Retail, where I mastered roles from visual merchandising to inventory management. This experience equipped me with a unique ability to integrate creative thinking with business strategy, which I now bring to my work as a creative consultant.I coined the term “Holistic Business Optimization” to describe my approach to tackling business challenges from multiple angles. I start by understanding a company’s Brand Identity—who it is and what it stands for. I then align this identity with compelling messaging that resonates with the target audience and design the Customer Journey to ensure that every interaction is frictionless and impactful.One of my core philosophies is to embrace failure as a critical component of success. The key is to fail quickly and strategically. My Skunkworking methodology creates empowered teams with complete control over all necessary elements to succeed. It encourages rapid ideation, testing, and iteration to create opportunities strategically, rather than chase them.I want to work with forward-thinking companies that value strategic insight and creativity. Whether leading a team, building a brand’s story, or reimagining a customer journey, I offer a unique blend of wisdom and enthusiasm for discovering and implementing change.Let’s connect if you want a fresh perspective and strategic guidance!
