power of stories and creativityI believe in the power of stories and how they connect us.  A story can be the shortest distance between two people. My mission and passion: Stories told creatively through art with a hint of technology.  cubicles and creativityDuring my 30 year career in Knowledge and Information Management at Fortune 200 companies, I passionately persuaded people and organizations to share their stories. Coaching them on how to uncover their knowledge and along with their information, get both organized, discoverable, accessible and reusable.life Interrupted and creativity Already intimately familiar with a group of very rare bone marrow failure diseases, having lived through Aplastic Anemia and PNH in my 20’s, I was diagnosed with the third, Myelodysplastic Syndrome in my 50’s for which I received a life-saving bone marrow transplant.doodling and creativityI was introduced to the art of doodling as a patient.  I found that creativity and art can give a voice to a story, which is sometimes hard to put into words. We all have it in us – to make creativity and art a part of our everyday life. To draw, to write, to build something, to take pictures, to paint, to kick a ball, to dance or play an instrument. To create something. We can and should have the pleasure and satisfaction of creating beautiful things. Whether it be through creatively using art, the written word or a photograph, my intent is to help people change their story.  One bite at a time.
