How I Think

An always curious lifelong learner, I approach my day-to-day with a combination of creativity and psychology. Active listening, observing, and open communication is the foundation for my problem solving which leads to effective concepts and intentional design. At the end of the day, it’s about collectively creating great work, growing and winning new business, while simply being a good person. I achieve the above by inspiring others, educate along the way, and always strive to make a positive difference.

When I'm not coming up with a novel idea or concept to solve a client problem, you can find me teaching my daughter the creative ropes, Aztec dancing, or exploring all of the sights, sounds, and food of Chicago.

If you have a moment, be sure to check out my other site R.O.S.E. clothing. It has a unique business model in that it donates 15% of proceeds to various nonprofits.
