I currently work full time as the Creative Director for the AICPA, leading the internal brand and creative services team. Prior, I led the brand and creative work at Aledade, Inc., a value-based healthcare organization.
Before Aledade, I served as the Brand Creative Director at Anthem, Inc., overseeing creative branding for 45 go-to-market brands visual identity.
I served as Photography Director for Sears Holdings and later as Creative Production Director for Jim Beam Brands. Before that corporate work, I founded and led AGA Digital Studios, Inc. for 18 years and operated Ablan Gallery, a full-time portrait studio. My agency produced branded marketing, 3D animation, and video for clients including Johnson & Johnson, Abbott Laboratories, Edelman, Keurig, Wrigley, the American Dental Association, NASA, and United Airlines. I’m a certified professional photographer and author of 17 books on creative software, 3D imaging, and photography.
For two decades, I’ve taught 3D graphics and digital imaging in person and online through LinkedIn Learning, Class on Demand, and my own platform, 3DGarage.com. Each summer, I teach digital imaging at the University of Notre Dame.
