For more than 20 years I've been thinking about the consumer and their needs, and then helping to align and integrate companies and their points of interaction -- whether in advertising, retail, new product development, identity and visual language, packaging and communications, public relations, or Internet technology -- with those customer needs to provide significant competitive advantage and market position.

During my career I've been on the creative end as an award-winning copywriter, managed a lot of printing and media, run an award-winning newspaper, taught advertising and marketing classes at both undergraduate and graduate levels, managed hundreds of projects (ads, commercials, brochures, sales sheets, promotions, events, annual reports, catalogs, direct mail, packaging, websites, information technology, industrial design and engineering programs, etc.) and client relationships as an account executive/supervisor.

I've worked with prominent ad agencies, design firms and technology consultants to complete my understanding of the 'big picture' both conceptually and tactically. I know all about on-time and on-budget. But I care more about on-strategy, on-voice and on-brand.

Today, I am a founding partner in Think-Brand, llc., a design strategy firm. We work with business leaders intent on using design thinking as a core competency for business advantage. We use consensus building, customer/stakeholder alignment, and internal resource allocation to make change simple, smart and successful. We have deep expertise in working with companies in Consumer Packaged Goods, Pharmaceuticals, Manufacturing, Financial services and Retail.

I am also the Proprietor of the German Village Guest House, a small, nationally recognized boutique hotel in Columbus, as well as an adjunct marketing instructor at Franklin University.
