    I consistently ignite audience behavior by focusing on how a visual message can ease into the brain, be accepted/retained, and enable the viewer to act on that message as their own. I have partnered with many Fortune 100 companies to make the message fast, fun, and impactful.

    I’ve been called the “Jimmy Hendrix” of course design. I’m a passionate designer and builder of great live and digital learning experiences. I’ve created everything from cognitive online experiences to week-long onboarding programs for learners around the world. I set myself apart using my neuroscientific certification, comedy writing, and graphic design to keep the learner engaged and on the edge of their seat as they retain what they need to succeed. I’ve helped everyone from bankers to senior leaders change their game and improve their performance.
