About me:
Took the small, the big, and the merger-huge agency tour, from Seattle to Chicago to Minneapolis.
Created flat-out original, often award winning, and always client pleasing work.
Never stopped writing copy, but was also a Creative Director and Group Creative Director, Exec. VP. responsible for $300 million in billing.
As a writer, introduced Micheal Jordan to the Wheaties Box and created the 3-Year Test Drive leasing program for Audi.  Among many others.
As a CD, shepherded the creation of Energizer Bunny and Nature Valley,
the (Candy) Bar Nature Intended.  Among many others.
As an Group CD, EVP, I was the highest ranking woman in the creative department of the Satchi & Satchi network worldwide.  Imagine that.

I currently live on an island near Seattle accessible only by ferry boat.
I am married to a goldsmith/jewelry designer and the mother of a 19 year old son who is my proudest creation ever.

I've been fortunate to be associated, as a creative director, with one of the world's top strategic marketing and branding firms for the last 20 years.
If you believe "Blink", that makes me an expert in strategic thinking.
I've been part of projects like the repositioning of The March of Dimes and the branding of The Gap Foundation.
