I want to do great work,
for great clients,
with great people.
I work with small and mid-sized teams as a fractional creative director.
Working together.
I’m comfortable leading, making, and rolling up my sleeves. The mix depends on the team and the moment.
Email &
Journeys
Email that works as a system—not just a series of sends.
Teaching &
Mentorship
Helping people sharpen ideas, translate expertise, and feel more confident in the work they’re doing.
Websites & Digital Experiences
Clear, thoughtful digital work for organizations with something to explain and something at stake.
Authored
Work
Occasional self-initiated projects driven by curiosity, storytelling, and long-term thinking.
Selected Work.
I help set direction, build systems that make sense, and jump in to make the work when needed. Here are a few projects that reflect how I think, how I collaborate, and how I show up inside teams.
Kansas City Symphony
Fractional creative leadership across campaigns, systems, and teams.
Rare Visions + Roadside Revelations
A long-running cultural storytelling project that lived across television, web, books, and physical media.
KCMO School District Bond
Public trust and persuasion with real-world impact (84% voter approval).
Lumen Leadership Strategies
Helping a founder turn big thinking into a clear, usable digital presence.
Help is here.
Making sense of messy ideas
Creating structure without killing momentum
Translating expertise into plain language
Designing systems so good work holds up over time
Jumping in and doing the work when that’s the fastest way forward
I’ve led creative work inside large agencies, partnered directly with founders and small teams, ran my own small design shop, and taught designers how to think about their work. I’m an AIGA Fellow, adjunct associate professor at JCCC, and have spent a long time doing this—and still love it.
If this sounds like your kind of working relationship, let’s talk.
