I work with organizations, educators, and creative teams who need clarity, structure, and direction for complex creative work. My role is to help define what needs to be built, why it matters, and how it can function sustainably over time. I am brought in when ideas are strong but systems are unclear, when projects become fragmented, or when creative work needs stronger alignment between vision and execution. I offer art direction, creative and systems consulting, and program and framework design, depending on the needs of the project. As an art director, I support concept-driven work by defining visual language, narrative coherence, symbolism, and overall direction. This includes worldbuilding, conceptual development, and guiding creative decisions across traditional and emerging media, including AI-assisted workflows. As a consultant, I focus on diagnosing structural issues, clarifying goals, and designing functional systems that work within real constraints. This is not coaching or motivational work; it is practical, systems-focused consulting grounded in decision-making and long-term outcomes. I also design curriculum, professional learning, and program frameworks, particularly within arts and education contexts, with an emphasis on clarity, assessment, and sustainability. My approach balances rigor with flexibility and supports creative autonomy rather than prescribing rigid solutions. In addition to consulting and design work, I write professional resources and books that document the frameworks I build in practice. Engagements are tailored to scope and may include short-term advisory work, project-based direction, or longer-term collaboration. I work with schools, arts organizations, publishers, creative teams, and individuals who value thoughtful structure and intentional design.
