Creativity and Compassion:

“One person cannot do Everything,

but everybody can do Something.”

How do you guide your life?

I believe that the availability of opportunity for all is a critical element in enabling the most important expression of art and human capacity to gain visibility and public access. As born creators, artists have innovative expressions of values to share with the world, and society at large has an innate need to learn and grow from exposure to such messages. The more opportunities, through visibility, education, and employment we can create for those making a difference through creative expression, the better our society can grow toward a peaceful evolution of shared humanity.

CREATIVITY

I am so incredibly grateful to have worked with some of the world’s top creatives in fashion, art, and design over decades.

Between work in fashion and education, I always felt, if I learned from the best, whom I learned from some of the top industry icons, I could try to mobilize my own creativity and practical experience in a compassionate way to help empower myself and my community for the future.

COMPASSION

Born and raised in a family of educators and artists, I do my best to imbue Compassion in everything I do, whether it be a public sector non profit activity or a private sector business venture that considers people and the plant.

This may or may not be right for you but I feel my journey may have a lesson or two.

FUTURE OF YOUR LEGACY, STEWARDSHIP OR IMPACT

Having been so lucky to have exposure to, and experience/understanding of all socioeconomic groups, public and private sector organizations, and fueled by an intense empathy for humanity, I’m grateful to be in a unique position to serve as an advisor to private foundations and philanthropists, as well as non profit organizations charting their strategic visions and next chapter of impact.
