Founder
As OMDC Owner / Principal, I bring over 28 years of experience partnering with companies throughout the US and internationally. I’m sharply focused on meeting customers needs, solving problems that are strategic, visual, experiential, and actionable.
Strategic & Purposeful Customer Journey
The focus of my work is to deliver purposeful, culturally fluent brand solutions for communicating your message and vision to customers in any type of environment and market.
When clients engage with Osborne Marsh, they engage directly with me the owner. I work hand-in-hand alongside each customer as we develop a scope of work, or shape a project (large or small). You get my undivided attention and focus on our work together. This has been the cornerstone of my business and career. High-touch, available and accountable. When we work together I am from start-to-finish engaged and oversee all work til it is lanched.
I work directly with businesses to collaborate with CEO’s, VP’s, brands, business owners, development and marketing teams, helping guide the scope of work and build partnerships, that in a lot of cases over my career, have lasted for decades.

Making it Count
All my life I have been attracted to the outdoors, nature, our relationship to the environment, and how these ecosystems work, both organic and human. Quiet spaces and sometimes just the act of listening and watching, especially when alone, inform how I experience life and generate ideas that eventually unfold in my work.
Whether making art, music, design for clients around the globe to traveling, people watching, or storytelling (I am a tall tale maker I am told by my teenagers, with lots of stories and life experiences…their eyes are rolling as they read this I am certain) but, layers of these experiences give life to creativity and design.
Interacting with memory, place, materials, and different cultures, to landscapes and rivers and oceans and how the vast materials and sound in rugged places, timeless and evolving, shape how I design as iterative process, then reflected in the spaces we inhabit, how we live and in all my professional work.
Design is everywhere. How we choose to capture all of the information coming at us and what we interact with is all inspiration that can elevate our experience with the right inspiration, in the world and the mark we leave behind. Everything is connected.
Time is short. Eat Life.
When I can, away from monitors, mouse, tethered to the iPhone… I toss some flies across water to be guided by what is under the surface. Because there lies truth.
