I have been privileged to collaborate with forward-thinkers, facilitate single or series of workshops and speak to all kinds and sizes of groups across the country, interview creative thinkers and doers, coach individuals, participate and contribute to others’ initiatives, and follow my own creative muse in a wide variety of projects.
