My first and greatest discovery
in life was drawing.
It’s been my compass - helping me understand, escape, shape, study, interact with, and reimagine the world around me.
But the journey from here…

Next I poured myself into the world of print and packaging, mastering collaboration on a corporate scale with a creative brain and an exuberant passion for people. But world distribution wasn’t what I was after.

Every turn I took was in pursuit of doing more doodling. The day jobs weren’t doing it, and the hunger to get hands-on kept pulling me back to the drawing board, wondering how to make the creative career I had in my head a reality.

…BOOM!
I fell head over heels into (and in love with) Graphic Recording.

Graphic Recording picked me up out of my comfort zone and dropped me deep into the heart of conversations, where drawing isn’t just about creating—it’s about connecting. My drawings were bridging gaps, sparking ideas, and making moments unforgettable.

Now, every job is an adventure—mapping the conversation as we go, turning complexity into something clear, engaging, and impossible to ignore. It’s fast, it’s fluid, and it transforms thinking as it unfolds.

and I’ll keep your audience in the room and on the same page.
