I’ve always viewed myself as a creator, long before that was ever my job description. Now, I’m hired by people to create brands that birth new companies, and concepts that birth new businesses. When I came up with the name of this blog, “creation” was something that happened when I wrote, but I think the goal here has always been to use creativity to influence, influence to connect, and connection to build new communities. Join me, you’re welcome here!<\/p>\n
