— Successfully art directed, designed and managed
many of clients and agencies.
— Expanded my design studio to seven full-time
employees for over nine years.

SUMMARY
I’m 63 and still breathing creative.
Am I running on fumes?
Not quite, but remember fumes
are more spontaneous!
The Boston tech culture is now
hiring creative talent beyond just
millennials to develop multi-gen
creative teams in an effort to
stimulate fresh creative.
I would very much like
to be a part of this trend!
