Art & Creative Design

“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.”
— Maya Angelou

Creativity drives everything I do. While writing is my primary focus, I also explore other forms of art that inspire fresh perspectives and fuel new ideas. Making art often helps me break through creative challenges and approach my work from different angles.

When I write, I always envision the final product and shape my words to solve specific challenges. This process often involves providing creative direction to graphic designers, ensuring the project’s vision is fully realized.

The work featured below is presented to highlight my creativity and attention to detail, both of which are essential elements in my personal and professional lives.

Creative Direction

As the writer for Phase Shift Games‘ Age of Heroes setting, I built an entire world from scratch. My art direction formed the style sheets that guide the company’s artists across projects and design motifs. The images below are based on my original art direction.

Some of the videos I’ve scripted, storyboarded, and directed.
L: A “welcome back” video I wrote and directed for the Jewish Alliance‘s COVID-19 reopening.
C: A Suicide Prevention Month video I wrote for Carelon Behavioral Health and the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
R: A worldbuilding story I wrote for Phase Shift Games. In this video I voice-directed the very talented Eric Summerer.

You’re looking at it! I built and designed this site to highlight my work.

For my clients, I’ve written and designed dozens of intuitive, user-friendly landing pages, surveys, and registration and payment forms. 

I wrote and designed this page to promote a COVID-era community art project sponsored by the Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island.
I wrote this page to promote Carelon Health's Child, Young Adult, and Family Services. The layout is based on my notes to the designer.
