Whether your story is truth or fiction, its effectiveness relies on AUTHENTICITY. It must be credible and honest. An effective story - whether you're a CEO or a novelist - is about your READER/VIEWER's conflict and transformation, even if the narrative is about you. A powerful story is expertly and cleverly rendered in the perfect combination of words, images, pixels, sound, and code. I help polish your message - and polish what your message says about you.

PUBLISHING CONSULTANT: I assist with all stages of publishing from figuring out how to tell your story to editing, proofreading, design, typesetting, technology, and marketing.

SPEAKER & TRAINER: I offer motivating keynotes on the value of analyzing your business from a storytelling perspective. Breakout/Training sessions cover writing style, publishing, eBooks, and various design/production technologies.

MFA GRAPHIC DESIGNER: Concept, branding, and strategy driven, my 30+ years of traditional and interactive experience creates powerful and effective visual communications and engaging user experiences for Fortune 100s to Mom-and-Pops. My study of traditional print design brings life to on-screen design. I create traditional printed book designs; custom audio; video; animation; and responsive, interactive web and mobile interfaces.

FRONT END DEVELOPER: I hand-coded my first website in 1995 and continue to expand my developer skills. I love WordPress.

TEACHER & TEAM LEADER: As a teacher with 14+ years of university classroom experience, a marketer, and a consultant, I translate design, technical, and business concepts between left and right-brained stakeholders; I speak both geek and business. This means clear communication with clients, team members, managers, and audiences about what needs to get done when and why.

WRITER / PUBLISHER: An award-winning author, copywriter, and editor, I have strong writing skills. I write a top-10 blog about writing, publishing, and book design.
