Transforming an art director's loose sketch and a client's ambition into a finished image takes a village. I think of advertising projects as creative opportunities to make images that are unique, and to collaborate with highly skilled people. These jobs can be complex and demanding, but they're always fun.

As Bruce Mau says in his Incomplete Manifesto for Growth:

"The space between people working together is filled with conflict, friction, strife, exhilaration, delight, and vast creative potential."
