The Pulse

I’ve always been drawn to what lives beneath the surface. The pattern behind the plan, the pulse beneath the project.

​

Writing has always been the quiet backbone. I distill complexity into clarity, so that stories find their structure. I write the way I produce and build: intuitively, architecturally, and with an instinct for rhythm. My style is a mix of clean wit, sharp-eyed humor, and raw honesty that slips in under your guard and still manages to land straight between the ribs. I’ve helped others bring their stories from fragments to finished works, and one of my own is on its way. Storytelling isn’t a side skill for me, it’s the throughline.

Early Vision

At twenty-five, I founded Youngblood Studios, a creative agency specializing in branding, design, marketing, event, and business-consulting  that helped businesses, service industries, entrepreneurs, and creative ventures see what they already had and build from it. I didn’t just shape strategies, I designed them into being. Logos, promotions, themes, ads, websites, print materials, and live events all came through my hands. Long before “brand identity” became a buzzword, I was merging art, psychology, and commerce to help people translate essence into expression.

 

The Thread That Held It All

Throughout everything that followed, Youngblood Studios remained the thread, my steady anchor and creative home. Because it was my business, I could carry it with me wherever life moved: maintaining long-term clients, raising three children, and working from a home office long before it was the thing to do. It also gave me the flexibility to educate myself when I was curious and walk through new doors when I heard the call. During that time I earned a BA in Liberal Studies thru Antioch University. My curiosity and insatiable love for knowledge also led me to too many certification programs to mention in one sitting.

​

Teaching, Technology & Nature

As technology evolved, those who understood it, were asked to teach it.  So I jumped into introducing computer technology to teachers for their classrooms and to children discovering it for the first time. I also developed an outdoor-education program, all at the only Krishnamurti school in the United States, weaving nature, inquiry, and awareness into experiential learning. Those years taught me how structure and spontaneity meet while I taught others how systems and spirit can co-exist.

​

Patterns, Consciousness & Creative Strategy

Through Youngblood Studios, I continued advising musicians, artists, corporations, entrepreneurs, and creative visionaries, helping them recognize their unique assets, design their message, and bring their gifts to the world. This often included creating and producing events.  Live, purpose-driven experiences that inspired others to reach their potential and share their voice. Many of those gatherings carried my own message too, blending story, education, and activism.

​

​The Architecture of Balance

My ability to read timing, rhythm, and resonance deepened through years of studying and practicing Tibetan Buddhism, as well as obtaining a formal education in the Vedic sciences of health and consciousness, particularly Ayurveda and Jyotish, twin limbs of the Vedas that map the harmony between body, mind, and time. These studies refined the way I perceive opportunity and alignment, teaching me how true creation begins with balance. That same awareness now informs every aspect of my storytelling and production work,  from films and events to the Equine-Assisted programs that invite people back into embodied presence.

The Living Field

I live on a ranch, where I take refuge in between projects.  Surrounded by the rhythms of the natural world and a small herd of seven horses, I am  continuously humbled as they to teach me about presence, trust, and coherence. I can’t remember a time in my life without at least one horse by my side, and over the years I’ve rescued and trained many. They are my mirrors, my grounding field, and my daily reminder that language is awareness and creation begins with listening, before movement, before form.

​

From Vision to Film & Experience

Eventually, the threads of business, design, education, events, and awareness, converged into the work I do now: producing truth-based films and conscious media, and immersive events that bridge vision and embodiment. Whether I’m curating a book, directing a film, or shaping an experience that moves collective awareness forward, this is where my passion, skill, and experience align. Where I’m fully engaged in what I came here to do: bringing vision into form and helping others do the same.
