I began my professional career as a freelance graphic designer. I led a multidisciplinary design studio for over twenty years, creating branding and marketing assets for businesses and organizations. During this time I also designed over 200 album covers for bands, solo artists, orchestras and ensembles. Music has always been a foundational part of my life.I had the pleasure of working with a number of agencies in various roles, where I was able to apply my creative skills to develop successful and groundbreaking campaigns as part of a team.As co-founder and Creative Director for Muse Marketing Group, I bring my expertise to the dynamic intersection of graphic design and marketing. Guiding our clients through the transformative journey from analogue to digital has been an exhilarating and gratifying experience.My commitment to creative problem-solving and effective communication informs every client engagement and project. Outside the boardroom, I have shared my knowledge as a university lecturer in marketing, design, and new media, having earned recognition across diverse disciplines that include design, business, public relations, and sales.My professional journey has been enriched by a lifelong passion for music, design, and popular culture, which serves as an ongoing source of inspiration. One of the highlights of my early career was being invited to deliver guest lectures for the visionary futurist Maurice McLuhan, brother of Marshall McLuhan. The experience ignited a lifelong dedication to sharing knowledge through teaching.In the constantly evolving landscape of creativity and marketing, I draw inspiration from a wide variety of thinkers, including Bernadette Jiwa, Simon Sinek, Malcolm Gladwell, David Ogilvy, Sally Hogshead, Saul Bass, and David Carson. On this transformative journey, where creativity meets purpose, I am grateful for every opportunity to remain curious, engaged and inspired.
