<p>Quality, clarity, innovation and persuasion are four forces that drive my creative concepts and commercial copywriting. The fifth is collaboration. It takes teamwork to move from vision to reality, to produce beautifully integrated copy and designs.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been involved in every aspect of the projects in this portfolio. I&#8217;m experienced with every step, managing all the tasks involved, be it for web, print or video—the writing, the art direction—whatever it takes.</p>
<p>I’ve worked with team members in every capacity—from the executive management of multi-billion-dollar international corporations—to computer coders on the other side of the planet, I know how to form, inspire and cajole a team through the creative process—to create something from nothing. In fact, it’s what I do best.</p>
