co-founder, chief content officer

i’ve spent my career helping organizations say what they mean. i have a Masters in English Literature, have worked in education, and have a long history of writing, editing, and content strategy, including as Director of Content at TechRepublic.com, so i know how a story gets told and how it gets lost along the way. the thread has always been the same: building cultures where the story people tell is the one the organization lives.

co-founder, chief creative officer

i’ve spent 28 years in the gap between the people who run the business and the people who handle the creative. i’ve served as creative director, run an agency, and owned a design studio, so i know how each side sees the other. the through-line, across packaging, interiors, print, web, and hard goods, is getting both sides to understand each other and see the whole story.
