Let’s Talk


The best projects rarely begin with a brief. They usually begin with a conversation.

Sometimes that conversation is about an experiential activation. Sometimes it’s about a film. Sometimes it’s a business problem disguised as a creative one.

And sometimes it sounds impossible.

Over the last twenty-five years I’ve worked as a designer, photographer, fabricator, creative director, agency owner, consultant, employee and vendor. I’ve seen projects from almost every side of the table, which gives me a perspective that can be useful when ideas need to move and be moving.

If you’re working on something interesting, unusual, ambitious, or difficult to define, I’d love to hear about it.


Some of the things people talk to me about:

- We have an idea. Is it any good?
- We don’t have an idea. Got any?
- Can this actually be built?
- Should this actually be built?
- How do we make this worth photographing?
How do we make this feel premium?
How do we pitch this?
- How do we simplify this?
- Are we solving the right problem?
- What are we missing?
- Why isn’t this working?
