As CEO and Creative Director of Novaby, I have the pleasure of leading an amazingly talented and dedicated team of artists, storytellers, and creative technologists in the U.S. and around the globe. I am a forward-leaning design leader with 25+ years experience leading customers, teams and organizations through complex, highly technical, creative projects up to $200 million, from concept through completion, in the virtual and real worlds.
