I'm a skilled and passionate creative evangelist, experiential marketer, and copywriter based in San Francisco. I'm available for contract work and happy to talk about something longer term, too.
Bringing experience to experiential

As a brand ambassador, managing event teams and ​representing at 80+ events in the United States, Canada, England, France, and the Netherlands. From trade shows to pop-ups to meet-ups to photowalks. Talking to people about how your product can help them do their best is the best part of the job.

Directing details that matter

​As art director, setting the tone for the event early, like with these film-canister invitations for photojournalist Ron Haviv's "Lost Rolls" book launch in New York City. The result? Full RSVP list, a line down the block, and an invitation people talked about.
Talking the talk

As an educator, bringing together the right people and speaking passionately. Here at the Food Book Fair in New York, talking to 30 passionate cookbook authors about Kickstarting their projects along with Ted and Sharon Burdett and Terry Romero. Read more... 
That time I was a superhero: Being a brand ambassador puts you in many roles. Here's a video I concepted, scripted, and co-starred in. Read more...
Return and investment
​
Every event is an opportunity. Take "Landfill Dogs" by Shannon Johnstone. A 10-minute conversation at an event and a follow-up email led to two books, including two offset print runs (and thousands of dollars raised to help homeless animals). Read more...

And a book project with the talented people at the TED Fellows program parlayed into a book-making class at the TED Fellows Retreat. Read more...
Communities are everywhere

In every city there are hundreds of communities that just want to learn and connect. Example: When Blurb went to Paris, New York, and London, I hooked up with the local Lomography stores for a series of photowalks. Then I followed up by creating a free magazine for every participant, resulting in big exposure to Lomography's worldwide community.
Engage with the unexpected

Blurb needed a concept for Adobe MakeIt in Australia, something beyond the usual book show. So I contacted Sydney-based artist (and Blurb customer) Jessica Watts about taking her portfolio and turning it into a puzzle-cum-scavenger hunt. We printed 16 copies of her book, each with a different cover that would form a piece a large mosaic. The goal? To show people the flexibility of the platform and get them to think about the possibilities.

We've had the opportunity to work multiple conferences and trade shows over the years and that's where he really shines. His love for the product is palpable. He's a great teacher and is always willing to share, and that is best seen in the multiple webinars he has run for the company.

I had so many questions and he was always available to me. He truly went above and beyond. He would quickly answer every question I had, and never made me feel annoying, although I am sure I was... I was touched by this level of personal care, and very grateful for that.
