Unicorn Workhorse Actively Seeking Uni-herd
 

Four-time creative studio founder with two successful exits and recent successful corporate brand transformations seeking the next story worth designing.

​

I bring: 20 years building creative success from zero.

Warner Brothers bought my first. Storylab acquired my second. GHD will never be the same after my fourth.

Published methodologies in a business novel (Echo Designs Her Way Out of a Paper Bag), Parsons professorship, and frameworks that Fortune 500s still use.

 

I hold 6 Grand Jury Prizes, 5 Audience Awards, and proof that Cherokee storytelling wisdom translates into cultural impact and now, enterprise transformation.
 

You bring: Complex challenges worthy of creative revolution. Maybe you're a 100-year-old company thinking like a startup. Perhaps you're building AI that needs humanity. Possibly you're disrupting an industry that forgot it serves humans. Definitely you're ready to stop telling boring stories and start building transformative narratives.

​

Together we'll: Build creative capabilities that outlast consultants. Transform culture through narrative. Make stakeholders believe in impossible things. Prove that strategy without story is just expensive guessing.

​

Recent transformations include (not limited to):

 

Saudi healthcare, Dubai's $7B future, BBVA's AI banking (2017), American Family's $100M opportunity, GHD's 99-year history rewritten and AI integrated.

Daily Claude collaborator, GPT builder, with Synthesia, Runway, Pika, Firefly, and Co-pilot receiving honorable mentions.

I've been making AI more human before it was necessary. But it's a necessity now. I'm a designer of brand systems for companies ready to play with fire. Because humans didn't discover fire, we design it.
 

Currently evaluating opportunities for my next collaboration or partner for creative studio number five. I love giving voice to organizations, your culture is your story. Let's amplify what you're creating in the world and change everything.
