My talks are a practical and humorous narrative of our industry, laced with relevant experience, creative insight, sarcasm, geeky references, and inspiring conclusions.

Drawsigner (Formerly Illustrative Design)
Geared for both students and veterans alike, this talk walks the viewer through a systematic creative process that any designer can adapt into their own work flow and begin to utilize immediately in order to produce better work on a consistent basis.

Living a Creatively Curious Life
What keeps a designer relevant, unique, and inspired? This talk showcases how living a creatively curious life will enable a designer to leverage moments of inspiration, and move forward on random creativity in order to fuel their own passion for the work they create.

Creating 5ive-Alarm Concepts
Our work demands us to produce original ideas on a daily basis. This talk demonstrates the importance of designers being great thinkers, by expanding their knowledge base from outside our industry in order to facilitate unique concepts within our own work.

Hired Gun

Building relationships with larger firms, strategically positioning yourself in order to gain more work from a broader range of clientele, facilitating your own growth and how to leverage social media via smart marketing and knowledge sharing, so you can open up new opportunities and participate in the design community at a higher level.
