Iam a Creative Strategist. Just what does that mean? I have over 30 years
experience working an arts educator, commercial photographer, writer,
media consultant and fine artist. As a creative strategist I bring all these
experiences into play when designing solutions that will exceed expectation.
I have found that you cannot manage an organization’s progress towards
innovation, nor can you mandate innovation fromacentraladministrative
center. In my perspective and experience, you have to design solutions that
fit the dreams and aspirations of the institution, and allow everyone to
dream big.
My goal is helping your organization to accomplish itsgoalsbydeveloping
and designing your digital assets with tools such as Photoshop, InDesign,
Muse and Acrobat Pro. My work will produce captivativng content that
allows all parties involved with your projects to benefit from the power of
generating and publishing dynamic digital media.
Give me a call, and let’s see what magic we’ll create.
