I am just a human trying to understand my surroundings.

Why you may want to hire me to look at your ideas

This…blurb…is meant to describe me, but that's a difficult task. I am so many different things—sometimes all at once. But there are a few specific things you should know about how I approach ideas:

I play to learn

I love to experiment with things that feed me new information, or challenge me in new ways, especially unusual combinations of things. If you have a challenge, I want to know everything about it. If I'm learning, I don't run out of energy.

I can do better

According to my therapist, "I can do better" is my core belief, an inner-mantra/motto which can be used to improve or denigrate oneself. I try to use it more for kaizen than self-flagellation. But at least you know I'll be harder on myself than you'll ever be (and I'll continue improving).

I will make you think sideways

My personal guarantee is to help you see things in ways you've never looked at them before. I'm a practiced lateral thinker, a purposeful generalist, and a student of human nature. Sometimes this is called lateral thinking.

I see what's going on here

I can distill things into their most salient, crucial parts. I like to edit, analyze, and find the essence of ideas—and then connect them to other essences to see a bigger picture. Sometimes this is called strategy.

All of these features combine to make a creative consultant, an artist, a writer, a teacher, and a coach who can help you bring your ideas into the next dimension.
