Creative firestarter.Thought partner to CEOs.
I help founders and brand leaders design demand. I’ve founded, scaled and invested in companies for twenty years, and I still advise from inside the work, never from the sidelines. Startups, challenger brands and Fortune 500 teams alike.
Branding & Products
Brands people choose. Products they keep using.
Digital Surgeons is the agency I started in 2004. Strategy, identity and product live in one team, so nothing dies in the handoff. We build challenger brands people can’t ignore, then we test them in the market.
- Brand strategy and positioning
- Identity systems that scale
- Digital product design
- Launch and go to market
Conferences & Podcast
Ideas you can use on Monday.
I talk to founders, marketers and creative teams about creativity, AI and the future of work. On stage or on the mic, I skip the hype and hand you something that actually works.
- Keynotes and workshops
- Panels and fireside chats
- Podcast conversations
- Talks on creativity and AI
Venture Studio
Startup brands and products, built at AI speed.
The Resonance is my venture studio. Deep AI expertise plus world class design, so startups ship brands and products faster than either could alone. First sprint to launch.
- Brand sprints and identity systems
- Product design and AI prototypes
- Launch sites and campaigns
- Growth systems built with AI
AI
Teach companies how to think and grow with AI.
More tools won’t save you. The right workflow will. Through How to AI and GPC, I help people and teams get past the hype with clear roadmaps, hands on training and real use cases.
- AI roadmaps for teams
- Hands on training
- Workflows and automation
- Creative tools that multiply output

District is the New Haven campus I cofounded. Founders, makers and the Digital Surgeons team under one roof. It’s where the ideas on this page get built.

Connected curiosity unlocks creativity, possibility and breakthroughs.
Pull threads across people, fields and ideas. The breakthroughs live where they meet.

I build before I advise. Every lesson comes from companies I run.
