Hey there. I'm Josh. 

For 15 years, I’ve worked as a brand strategist, exhibition writer, creative director, and concept developer. I’ve collaborated with Fortune 500 companies, start-ups, community programs, and government institutions. But really, I just like to tell stories. Because stories are the center of everything: our history, our commerce, our religion, our families.  

​It’s the flexibility of stories, and their ability to connect us, that pulls the threads of my experience into a coherent whole. I help clients solve problems that run the gamut -- from brand strategies to cultural narratives -- but stories are always at the heart. Take a look around, and if you like what you see, let's tell a story together. 

WORKING TOGETHER 

Are you a cultural institution needing to tell a bold narrative that captures attention? ​

Are you a business that wants help defining your purpose so your customers get it too? 

Are you a leader who knows  stories are the answer, even if you don't know exactly how? 
If these questions resonate, we might be right for each other.

FEATURED ESSAY

A ✨connection to nature✨ isn’t as mysterious as you think

Published with Topo Designs, an outdoor apparel company based in Denver, Colorado

​A connection to nature isn't about just being knowledgeable of tree names and plant origins. It is about spending time building a relationship with the outdoors, and allowing that to deepen your knowledge of self. What nature reveals to us about ourselves is similar to how close human relationships serve as a mirror. Not only do we connect externally, but we expand internally.

​Whether it's an hour walk once a week, a lunch break in a local park or full weekends spent in the wilderness, the more we get outside – spending time sitting, looking, listening and touching – the deeper our connection with the earth will go. And who knows what magic lives on the other side.
