How can we cultivate flourishing?
These are the persistent questions wandering around in me. And not just aesthetic or surface beauty; how can we live more beautifully in deeper, wider, and more interwoven ways? How can we cultivate systems that develop the capacity of flourishing for all?
These questions surface in work ranging from designing houses to towns to weddings to schools, photography, virtual learning, workshops, retreats, apps, websites, writing… They’re all just ways to move toward the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible.

Most of my work falls into the creative direction and/or design categories. It comes out in a lot of ways, but here’s the general pattern:
I’m good at identifying the essence of a person, group, place, project, or brand and helping to express and develop that essence in new, authentic, and helpful ways. I love getting the right people to the table and guiding us to create something that’s never been done before.

The big dream I’m always cultivating is to build a network of walkable, human-scale communities from the ground up that help us live more beautifully with ourselves, each other, and the natural world. You can learn more here: One of One Collective
