I have had the pleasure of partnering with organizations to make critical space in their infrastructure to maintain focus on the big vision. My role is to shoulder developing the most effective ways to communicate a clients ideas through multimedia delivery. In the largest capacity I have provided not only visual branding packages and strategies, but organizational as well, designing best practices for interpersonal communication, team training, and more. Also, providing systems for taking your audience from first exposure to a communal participant of your organization. I partner with leaders by adopting the management of their creative teams, in-house or contract, in efforts to release them to strive after their strategic goals, without dealing with the multimedia day-to-day. I have been tasked as the entire creative/marketing team whether it’s videographer, editor, podcast host, photographer, graphic designer, web developer, IT support, copywriter or marketing strategist. So I understand the complex nature of many moving parts, to which I am confident in it’s challenges. I am well known and positively affirmed for my Swiss army knife capabilities.
