Art and design have been a passion of mine since childhood. Just before graduation, my high school studio art teacher asked me what I was going to do with my career. I told her that I would likely follow in my father’s footsteps and become a business owner. She was disappointed and urged me to use and develop my creative talents. "The world doesn't need another business man the world needs more artists!” she pleaded.

Following my passion and teacher's plea I pursued an Associates degree in Graphic Design and followed it with a BS in Advertising. It's been a blast working professionally as an art director and creative director using the training I gained in my undergraduate studies. I've produced creative for clients in a number of industries: health care, food and beverage novelties, financial sector, fashion retail, education, and tech products to name a few. Over the years I became increasingly impressed with the high level thinking and questions that I received from company managers and executives as I presented them with branding, design and ad campaigns. I felt there was a gap in my business, marketing and corporate strategy knowledge, and pursued a graduate degree for my Executive MBA from the University of Utah.

Today I continue to enjoy work as a Creative Director, marketing and design consultant, and small-scale entrepreneur.
