You do your work a certain way. The path is well-worn and predictable. It works.

But now those ways are slowing you down or holding you back.

I help teams imagine new ways of working together and demystify existing workflow practices so you can work in faster, more effective ways that transcend The Industry Standard.

The result? More time living life, less time staring at progress bars.

You know you need a hammer and saw to build your house. But what if you don’t know how to use a hammer or saw? Or what if you’re overwhelmed by the sheer amount of hammers and saws you can buy?

I help creative professionals sift through the noise surrounding:

• Which software, hardware, storage, networking, etc. are best for their show or project.

• How best to configure those for maximum predictability and performance.

And if something isn’t the right fit today? That’s OK. I believe becoming a trusted resource yields far greater returns in the long run than making a one-time sale.

Writing great documentation isn’t about proving you’re smarter than the audience. It’s about being that enthusiastic-yet-patient guide at the amusement park trying to get a group of new arrivals to their favorite ride as soon as possible.

I’ve written workflow papers, user manuals, and articles aimed at filmmakers, video production professionals, and artists with the same shared purpose:

1. This (product or service) is genuinely great!

2. Here’s how it works.

3. Now you can (use or do) it too!

All with the goal of not wasting one word.
