My biggest idea is about adding creativity as a key component to education. We have numeracy and literacy, those are extremely key and extremely tangible hard skills. However, I think it is time for people to start retaining their childhood creativity. It is time that people can think about their world in different ways all the time. I will add creativity to people's everyday lives.

About Me

I have been working as a transition coach and creative designer for the last 6 years. I love working with people and businesses in helping them develop and USE their passions in their everyday lives. I have this idea that everyone (be it person or organization) has a story to tell, a human story, and that this needs to be heard. If you have an issues or a challenge you are facing then sometimes those stories can help. I have had the chance to travel the world designing and facilitating education program and helping entrepreneurs build their business. It has been a lot of fun and I am ready to take it to the next level helping even more people and making creativity and creative design thinking a part of our educational systems.

At the moment I am also working on book called Career Chaos: "What the hell am I going to with my life?" This book is designed as a storytelling book featuring interviews from over 1000 people all across the country. The interviews all have some form of lesson in it and those lessons will be pulled out to help reduce some of the fear and stress of those who are asking these questions of their life. If you have a interesting story of career chaos I would love to hear from you.
