1. Co-founder & Creative Director

   Evolve

   Jan 2014 — Present

   Founding partner of Evolve Collaborative. A design, strategy and innovation agency who partner with brands to deliver relevant products, services and experiences that make a difference. Evolve is founded upon the idea that the best design always arises from collaboration and working with the partners directly. The difference great design makes in people\'s lives is not merely something we talk about. It’s the reason we are here. Building from a foundation of solid insights we help brands evolve faster, connect with people more deeply and create solutions that are truly relevant. Better. Not more.
