- Aug 2002 - Presentsolutions architect / d2mgroupcontemplate : collaborate : captivate I help people envision and implement solutions to their most frustrating problems. DESIGN APPROACH: A high level of enthusiasm and curiosity drive my individual and collaborative design efforts. However, my desire to transform everyday ideas into meaningful memories and places is crucial in defining my motivation. Therefore, looking at the unique ecological sensitivity of a site and the cultural implications to its user become priority goals in merging human and environmental concerns. My intuitive methods of expression use inventive media and strong organization to develop compelling communications. Overall, I am a passionate designer intrigued by socially-informed decision making and ecologically responsible design.

501cSUCCESS
- Where Non Profits Learn to Fly
501cSUCCESS is:
- A highly informative monthly interview series.
- A personal introduction to the people you need to meet.
Each interview will focus on what that person (or organization) does extremely well and exactly how you can mimic or repeat that success.
This endeavor is 100% in start-up mode...
If we generate enough interest in this endeavor, I'll conduct and record a monthly interview with the movers & shakers working to make a difference in the non profit realm. If you subscribe, I send it to you.
