I’ve been working with new media for 13 years. The reason that I shifted from film to interactive was simple: I loved the fact that people could take what I did and make it theirs. Not passively consume but actively engage.

That becomes truer every day now. As we move into the post-propaganda age, giving up control to the consumer is the high-wire act I try to help brands navigate. And I do that with one simple yet challenging maxim: put the customer first.

I help companies, agencies and digital firms put together business building digital strategies, and then help bring them to life through a variety of executions. The digital business is the most fun, the most promising and the most challenging arena I’ve ever experienced.
