“I think Bigfoot is blurry, and
that’s extra scary to me.”
— Mitch Hedburg
I’m a fan of Mitch, and of this idea.
It’s also an idea I often feel like I inhabit — I am blurry. I occupy the blurred space between disciples, and it can be a challenge for people to describe me. But this blurred space, between disciplines, is where innovation gets very interesting.
Create a safe place to do dangerous things
This phrase, originally from a former creative director of mine, has become a consistent mantra for how I lead and develop my teams.
Culture is paramount for creative and innovation teams. The trust and vulnerability required to do one’s best work demands a unique culture where risk taking is championed and protected, allowing what works to serve the organization, and what fails to make the next project stronger.


I’ve been lucky enough to innovate
and design inside some big brands
My work
Much of my work can’t be shared publicly, but a small selection can be explored below. Let's connect to talk through my more recent portfolio of work.

Innovation &
design process
My process incorporates a blend of techniques I’ve found fruitful working with a variety of teams. Reflecting components from design thinking and sprint methodologies combined with provocations that inspire alternative thinking around problems, perceptions, and potential solutions.
Special attention is paid to the development of concrete ideas for impactful critique and change management techniques to increase adoption.
