Smart. Resourceful. Insatiably curious. Builds and inspires awesome creative teams. And makes some pretty cool stuff.
I’m a modern-day alchemist. I work with basic creative elements to help people transition their brands, products, and businesses into something greater.
Back in college, I had a personal lesson in alchemy. I was an Ayn Rand-obsessed objectivist at the time, studying economics at Northwestern and heading for a career with a bank or consulting firm. When I started interviewing, however, something just didn’t feel right. Was I heading in the wrong direction?
Then I discovered What Color is Your Parachute, a book that helped me identify my peak experiences and passions. What a breakthrough. Even though I excelled in math, science, and other “professional” studies, I began to realize I was an artist at heart. Drawing, painting, music, and design were my true loves and they directed me to a new path, changing my life.
Joseph Campbell once said, “Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls.” As soon as I shifted my focus, doors started to open. A chance introduction at a Limelight party in Chicago led to the launch of my fashion career in New York, where I was soon being mentored by the brilliant creative forces at Marithé & François Girbaud. A few years later, a random phone call led to a move to Giorgio Armani where I collaborated with some of the top design talents in the industry. I’d followed my bliss and was now navigating a world of high-profile, demanding personalities, applying creativity to transform their businesses.
When the internet started taking off, I launched a web design studio to help fashion clients transition online, then headed into advertising to serve as creative director at Lowe and JWT where I built departments, mentored young creatives, and transformed Fortune 100 brands. Opportunities kept appearing.
Today I am Principal of Motherhaus LLC, still embracing the magic of alchemy and still following my bliss: conjuring great new stories with like-minded clients and partners who share my progressive vision.
What I learned and how it can help you.
My mixed background has taught me to balance my rational and creative sides. I value organization, planning, strategy, timelines, and budgets as much as I care about the creative vision and its unified expression across all aspects of your business. I can help you find what really matters to you and your company and make it resonate through the stories we tell about you, the pictures we share, and the conversations we generate.
