I love taking a client’s idea and turning it into a real-life product. I think that is really cool. I’m lucky to have a profession that allows me to be creative and establish close relationships with some of the best professionals in their respective fields. Ever since I was a little kid, I have been fascinated with the way things work and trying to solve problems. Shout out to my mom who put up with me taking apart the VCR just to see how it worked. Every project we take on is basically one big problem waiting to be solved. How do we get this product that doesn’t exist yet, designed, prototyped, mass produced, freighted, cleared with customs and delivered directly into the hands of all your events attendees? And all done on a hard deadline, that if missed would mean angry attendees, sponsors, exhibitors, show directors, basically everyone involved. Well, essentially you must pay very close attention to every minute detail. That is me in a nutshell, almost to an unhealthy extent. Every detail and aspect of the project must be watched closely, from the first mockup, to the production schedule, to customs clearance and delivery. In a way, you could say I was destined to start Streamline Branding. I am naturally driven to handle large projects and ensure they are done correctly.In all the years we’ve been in business, we have NEVER had an order miss a show date or deliver product that didn’t meet our clients’ expectations. The pride I find in being able to say that is unmatched. That cannot be gained overnight. It takes years of dedication to please the client in every way possible on every order.

Listed skills include Advertising, Email Marketing, Marketing Strategy, and Marketing Communications.
