From C-suite brand experiences to things built with my own hands — work that moves the needle.
I'm a creative director who still does the work. For a decade at Oracle, I led teams of up to ten, mentored junior designers, and was the primary creative voice in the company's highest-stakes client conversations — translating dense technical solutions into stories that resonated with C-suite decision-makers.
I won an internal innovation competition to lead a year-long broadcast incubator — directing live events for up to 2,000 people, from set design and multi-camera production to motion graphics and speaker experience. When a vendor fell through the night before a major event, I built a large-format light installation from scratch in my living room. That's just how I work.
I reject check-the-box creative. Whether I'm directing a team, cutting denim on a rotary mat, or designing an executive presentation system, I stay close to the craft. Creativity isn't a job function for me — it's a habit.
The way I spend my weekends explains a lot about how I work. When a problem bothers me, I don't just talk about it — I do something about it. I surveyed 60 Prairie Village residents about e-bike safety, synthesized the data into an infographic, identified a cross-jurisdictional infrastructure solution, and sent a formal proposal to Johnson County Public Works. Some of those improvements are now happening.
Off the clock I'm into 3D printing, laser cutting, home DIY, smart home systems, and riding my electric bike with my kid in tow. The way I approach a brief and the way I approach a weekend project are exactly the same: figure out how it works, then make it better.
