What I run

Four kinds of work, drawn from the same record: operations, marketing delivery, the people and money around a project and print production

  1. No. 1

    Operations across multiple businesses

    Day-to-day operations across business projects — marketing, content production, vendors, contractors and budgets — run on modular, repeatable systems so work advances without a single point of dependency

  2. No. 2

    Marketing delivery, on a set schedule

    Marketing delivery for an Ontario mortgage professional, covering brand, website, educational content, social channels and lead intake — with educational content produced on a set publishing schedule and a website designed, launched and tested end to end

  3. No. 3

    Vendors, contractors and budgets

    Coordination of vendors, contractors, production priorities and budgets across business projects — the people, the sequence and the spend kept in line with the deadline

  4. No. 4

    Print production and prepress

    Production work checked against copy and inspected for non-conformances, from a background in print production and prepress, design and traffic coordination for publications across Canada

How I work

Work gets built on modular, repeatable systems, so it advances without a single point of dependency.

That means clear priorities up front and delivery coordinated against real deadlines. It's the same approach whether the work is a publishing schedule, a production floor or a marketing programme: small-team leadership, honest sequencing and standards that hold when the rush jobs land.

Those systems are AI-assisted where it helps — and everything's reviewed by a person before it goes out.

Accuracy matters most where errors are expensive. The two lines below are from the record, stated exactly as they happened.

Worked at production scale: one error on the jumbo printer meant hundreds of dollars per box, multiplied across every skid and order
Atlantic Packaging · 2021–2022
Worked at national scale: ads ran in papers across Canada, where a single error could cost hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars
Toronto Community News · 2006–2010
