The creative process is rarely linear — it’s ambiguous, messy, iterative, and refuses to follow predetermined steps. To be successful, we need to establish a shared vision before we begin, enabling collaboration with a common goal in mind.
Processes can be complex and unwieldy, so a simple framework allows for rapid understand of scope and needs, and reduces time-wasting back-and-forth. Success lies in making it be scaleable and applicable to all projects, ensuring it becomes habit over time.
My Beliefs
Strength Lies in the Team
Part of my job is to hire great people, help them grow, focus on their strengths, and give them reasons to stay as long as possible.
The Question, Not the Answer
You don't always need to know the answers, but it’s important to know how to ask the right questions to guide the team and clients to a succesful solution.
Be An End-user Advocate
Push beyond the immediate to discover what true success means. What is the ultimate outcome, who benefits from project success?
Above All, Be Human
Freely admit your own mistakes and be kind to others when they make theirs. Get to know the WholeHuman™ and acknowledge their unique perspectives.
Safety Equals Productivity
If the Team feels protected from bureaucracy and politics, they can focus on being productive and successful at what they do best.
Great Creative Requires Great Conversation
Brilliant ideas can come from anywhere but will only surface if all stakeholders are involved at the input stage.
