I've been in the Creative Industry since 1996, i help translating the vision into tangible products from concept to production to implementation in today's competitive and cost conscious environment. I'm fortunate enough to have four different careers (entrepreneur, producer, composer/musician, teacher) which allows me to bring a wealth of expertise to what I do. Motivated by my ability to create positive impact, I take pleasure in changing things for the better. I thrive on new challenges and love to combine my creative ability with strategic insights, thoroughness and attention to detail.
