I am the CreativeMerc.
Creative projects + the museum world: double life, triple agent.
With over a decade of experience and an MA in Museum Studies, helping museums to achieve their goals and meet their missions is a primary passion.
But my winding path also has lead me to a larger creative world. My credits include web strategist, producer, designer and developer, as well as print designer and copywriter. Clients range from Fortune 500 companies to small businesses to up-and-coming artists.
