About Me
Creative Leader • Artist • Creative Wellness Facilitator
Creativity has been at the center of my life and career for more than 20 years. I built my professional career in advertising, design and creative leadership (portfolio), developing national campaigns, building brands, leading creative teams and creating experiences for Fortune 500 companies, healthcare organizations and other organizations.
Across that work, one thread has remained constant: helping people connect—through creativity, communication and meaningful experiences.
My connection to art began much earlier, growing up in Florida sketching by the sea. After criticism caused me to put down my pencil as a child, it took years to find my way back. During a challenging season of caregiving and change, I rediscovered art as a way to slow down, reconnect and express what words couldn't always capture.
That experience became the heart of Creative Flow.
Today, I bring together my experience as an artist, creative leader, facilitator and community-builder to create welcoming experiences that help people explore, connect and express themselves without pressure or judgment.
Through Creative Flow, I offer art and creative wellness experiences for individuals, groups and organizations—bringing together creativity, reflection, mindfulness and meaningful human connection.
Whether I'm facilitating a creative workshop, designing an experience, bringing a community together or helping someone rediscover their creative spark, my work lives at the intersection of creativity, communication, community and human experience.
Through it all, my hope is simple: to help people quiet the inner critic, reconnect with themselves and one another, and rediscover the joy and possibility that creativity can bring.
