“I didn’t know we could do that…”
Back around 2000, I was sitting in a session at a conference in Texas when a photographer-filmmaker showed his work and completely changed how I understood my own. In that moment, I witnessed creative technology being applied in a way that made the ordinary feel new. I walked out of the room saying, “I didn’t know we could do that,” and the impossible suddenly felt possible. That moment opened a door for me — a bend toward bringing inspiration, fresh ideas, and unexpected solutions into every project I touched. It’s still the heart of how I work, and why I want to help clients experience that same shift.
