I am passionate about the creation of art. Everyday I go to work and am amazed, excited, and in awe of the incredible images and stories artists are able to create. It is my daily mission to empower these artists to create more.

I have been managing teams in the creative industry for over 14 years. I've had the privilege of working in many different mediums across many different platforms. I have a strong technical understanding of the tools and processes artists use and which makes me exceptional at pipeline development including project workflow development, database development, and pipeline documentation.

I am always looking to meet new people and hear about their work. Please feel free to drop me a message, tell me about what you create, and how together we can create more together.
