WHAT INSPIRES ME:
Watching a customer fall in love with a brand or concept that I have been involved with. Being part of telling the story that builds an emotional connection with the customer. Following the creative journey from beginning to end and experiencing the “magic.” Finding that intersection where the impossible becomes possible. Discovering a trend or innovation that will make someone’s life better in a meaningful way. Traveling the world discovering cultures, colors, music, foods and other inspirations that I can bring back with me. Being part of transforming an organization or culture to strive for something greater. Helping someone to reach beyond what he or she thought they were capable of achieving. Seeing my daughter smile.

"Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary." - Cecil Beaton
