Hard problems.
Creative
answers.

I connect analytical thinking, creative judgment and emerging technology to build custom solutions for problems that don't come with a playbook.

Explore the work ↓

Analytical by nature.
Creative by practice.

01 / Approach

Find the problem.
Invent the answer.

The interesting part is figuring out what needs to change. Then choosing, connecting or building the tools to make that change possible.

01 / CUSTOM SOLUTIONS

Make the answer fit.

Interactive tools, decision models, dashboards and prototypes built around the real constraints. Turn an ambiguous brief into something you can see, test and use.

PROBLEM FRAMING / RAPID PROTOTYPING / INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCES
02 / AI & AUTOMATION

Connect the moving parts.

AI-assisted workflows, browser and API connections, practical automation and better ways to work with information. Give people more room for judgment and less repetitive work.

AI WORKFLOWS / TOOL ORCHESTRATION / HUMAN REVIEW
03 / TRANSLATION & ADOPTION

Make the complex usable.

Explain the system. Document the decisions. Teach the next user. Bring creative thinking and production craft to the part where technology meets actual people.

CREATIVE STRATEGY / PROCESS DESIGN / TRAINING
02 / Leadership

People. Purpose.
Progress.

I've led a creative business, served a community and helped people improve their work with AI. Different environments. The same responsibility to connect the details and move the work forward.

FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL / SINCE 2014

Mojave Pictures

Bringing strategy, creative teams and production logistics together. Build the right team around the problem, then carry the idea from the first conversation to the final delivery.

Creative direction. Business ownership. Complex execution.

FORMER PRESIDENT

Homeowners association

Community leadership, financial oversight and coordination around major property needs. Translate competing concerns into decisions people can understand and act on.

Governance. Stewardship. Practical problem solving.

AI EVALUATION & REVIEW

Quality is a team habit.

Evaluator and reviewer experience, quality assurance and evaluator training. Help people make better calls and improve the work that follows.

03 / Selected builds

Thinking that
takes shape.

Personal platforms, practical tools and working prototypes. Curiosity carried through to something you can see, test and use.

PERSONAL PLATFORM / IN DEVELOPMENT

GigZero

A job-search workspace connecting role discovery, fit assessment, application preparation and follow-up.

A visual fit map, role details, saved answers and an application pipeline bring the work into one view. Tailored microsites connect relevant experience to each opportunity. Application automation remains an evolving part of the platform.

SCREEN NETWORK PLATFORM / PROTOTYPE

AdJunction

A shared view of advertisers, locations, creative scheduling and playback reporting.

An interface prototype connects campaign planning with screen inventory and proof-of-play concepts. It treats the physical environment and the operational workflow as parts of the same creative problem. The preview uses fictional demonstration data.

ADJUNCTION / ACTUAL R1 PROTOTYPE

Actual prototype. Fictional demonstration data.
EXPLORATION / WORKING PROTOTYPE

Tech Atlas

An interactive map of human invention, tracing how one breakthrough makes another possible.

Search technologies, explore their ancestors and descendants, and move between a timeline and a family graph. A tool built to follow curiosity across disciplines.

04 / Creative practice

Complex ideas.
Human connections.

Before building with AI, I was building teams, campaigns and production systems. That craft still shapes the work: understand the audience, make deliberate choices and carry the idea through execution.

Brand stories, explainers, training and uncommon formats. Mojave Pictures is where that creative practice lives.

Bring me the
interesting problem.

A creative challenge. A tangled workflow.
An idea that needs something built around it.
