Creative Mornings
Blu Dot Austin, February 22nd, 2019
“Connection is why we’re here.”
What if where we are right now, is where we’re supposed to be? In this talk I share my non-linear journey for finding balance between logic and creativity. Through the encouragement of my peers, and the city of Austin, I share some life lessons that can hopefully help us all find symmetry in our own lives.
Mobile Mayhem –
Advertising Production Club NY

The growth and popularity of Citygram Austin, led to one of my first speaking events. Here, at the Parsons School of Design, I was able to showcase the magazine app and the power of integrated content to students and media professionals. Paul Nicholson, Senior VP of Production and Technology at Showtime Networks, introduces me as I tell the story of the magazine’s development using the app itself as a presentation device.
