Conversations with Milton Glaser shaped many profound career thoughts and choices. I still recall my time with him, vividly. Direct, in-person, and all day long. As the storyteller for the professions, I got to dive deep into more than 600 professions, and one of them was Art Direction. Yes, the kind of art direction that needs a college degree, then years of practice with a master before you are worthy to touch the hem of the greats like Milton Glaser and Herb Lubalin (NBC Peacock, L'eggs, and NY,NY). We had them both at the national convention in New York City for art directors and graphic design professionals. Everything about that day made the earth move.

Good to be back. Doing a lot of behind the scenes reimagining about what I want this to be, and how, when, and why I want to keep showing up.
