Does your team face thorny, complex, weird combinations of strategy, tech, art and humans which defy standard operations? We should talk. I'm a high-output generalist. I help organizations learn how to leverage new technology, and unlock creativity to achieve audacious goals. With 20 years consulting and management experience deciphering the puzzles inside agencies, brands and marketing, I bring a diverse and patient set of skills to inspire and educate teams to achieve remarkable outcomes. I've co-founded three interactive agency start-ups. So I'm comfortable amidst chaos; I know how to identify and ship solutions. I've built and taught six curriculums, and I teach within the Creative Entrepreneurship program at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. I know how to make murky subjects very clear and actionable. Since 2022 I've been researching, prototyping and training agencies and marketers to leverage AI-generative tools; and documenting that process through my newsletter. I'm keenly aware of how quickly the future becomes the present, and how we can take advantage.
