This website started as a home base for my LLC, built to book freelance work and connect with new clients. Part of it is a portfolio showing what I can shoot, design, create, and direct. Part of it is an attempt to capture a career that has evolved beyond simply making things. What’s harder to show is the work that doesn’t always photograph well: building a brand and team from the ground up, setting creative standards, managing expectations, balancing executive input with business goals, and keeping a lot of moving parts working together.

Over the past decade, I shifted from being the person creating everything to trusting talented people with much of the portfolio-worthy work while I focus on strategy, leadership, and the bigger picture. Now I find myself back in the saddle making, creating, and learning every day.

This site lives somewhere between all of that. Honestly, that feels pretty accurate.

IN A NUTSHELL

I love my family (especially my niece), my dog and my friends more than I could ever put into words. I genuinely love being creative and making things, but I also have a deep appreciation for organization, processes and working toward a goal. I believe the best leaders trust people, respect them, set them up to succeed and give them room to shine. Most importantly, Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior (in a liberal way). His grace, mercy and forgiveness have carried me through every hard battle in my life. I’ve never had it all together, I make more mistakes than I can count and I guarantee no one is harder on me than I am. I’m a very imperfect person (personally and professionally), doing my best, learning as I go and trying to extend more grace to everyone around me, myself included.

At the end of the day, I hope the people I work with feel trusted, supported and encouraged.

We need more of that in this lifetime.
