About Me

As Chief Interactivist and a digital river guide, I've spent decades analyzing and planning systematic approaches to branding, content strategy, and user experience design.

For the last 25+ years, as a creative director and project manager, I've successfully produced online and offline deliverables (in all media) across a full spectrum of industries, including healthcare, insurance, banking, real estate, energy, aerospace, shipping, manufacturing, entertainment, retail, and professional services.

 

My hands-on experience extends to working with content management systems, designing process improvement methodologies, implementing workflow automation, and managing a diverse mix of web development initiatives..

 

Over the years, I've made successful contributions to projects for many high-profile clients, including Aetna, Express Scripts, Charles Schwab, Web.com, Indeed.com, Insuraprise, Accenture, Ford, Mobil/Exxon, Federal Express, Fujitsu, Dr. Pepper, the National Hockey League, Loral Aerospace, Constellation Energy, Interstate Brands, Network Security, TwinLab, Holiday Inn, Fast Signs, and many small and mid-sized businesses.
