Philosophy
Creative strategy is the roadmap to success. Consistent communication about expectations, purpose and results keep projects on-time, on-scope and on-budget, especially while juggling multiple video projects with tight deadlines demanding high-quality output.
“I’m never happy ‘just getting it done’. My goal is to create an end product that moves audiences to action and surpasses expectations. That is the status quo.”
