I have 20 years of experience solving design problems. I've worked as a designer, web & interactive developer, live event producer, animator and video editor, photographer, and user experience (UX) practitioner. I love the art of presenting and creating multimedia experiences to support speakers and visionaries. I enjoy mentoring other digital creatives and educating clients in modern media.

When I'm not making things and teaching others, I train in mixed martial arts, study, and coach kids (especially my own 3 children).
