Hello San Diego!

What a difference a year makes! We've had some big changes and we're excited to get back to work! We relocated HQ to beautiful San Diego, California last October and even though a pandemic has slowed the process, we are making new connections, new friends, enjoying the beach and letting the community know we're here to be of service just as much as we are in Atlanta.  San Diego has been kind and helpful and we feel blessed at the opportunity to share our talent and energy with this fine city.  And Atlanta will always feel like home.  As we recently mussed about my humble beginnings at the Center for Puppetry Arts as a puppeteer, to working my way up the film industry ladder from lowly art pa to become a successful commercial art director, to moving into directing and helping private and corporate clients tell their stories in meaningful and compelling ways.

Continuing from my last post… what exactly are The Field and The Domain? For a quick recap, Fields are the groups of people who inhabit Domains of knowledge. For example: I love the Domain of Painting and Art; and the Field of Painters and Artists. See the difference? A Domain is the Arena and the Field are the People that play in that Arena. So, who are these people in our fields of interest and what do we get from them?? Well, first we get Training. Once we find the mentors we need to take our visions to the next levels, we learn from them. Education keeps us moving forward, sharpening our minds and creative lives as we incorporate new skills.

Everyday, my Fields of people teaches me something new. Resources are the next element our Fields provide. Resources in the form
