Hi, I’m aL
I’m a Bay Area-based creative leader with decades (gulp!) of digital agency experience and a background in design, art direction, animation, UX, and front-end development.
A good friend and mentor always says, “good people are good business.” I strive to live by that and provide the secret sauce that connects people and empowers them to bring their best – for their own careers, for each other, for the business, and always, for the work.
The best ideas can fall flat if the execution is flawed. I believe it’s crucial to think big and sweat the details simultaneously, and this fuels my approach.
