You don’t have to work with me for very long before you come to know my general outlook. It’s fairly simple. Pretty even keel. On good days and bad, through tough times and the fun stuff, it’s the same.

A couple of years ago we were asked to choose a short phrase that would be unique to our individual business card. I chose one word.

“Onward” is how I’ve signed off most of the emails to my creative department for as long as I (and they) can remember, because it always seems I’m communicating to them about some form of change, of trying to move forward. When I asked a few of them what they thought would make a good title for this blog, well, there didn’t seem to be any other choice.

It’s about “forward creative movement” because I believe any group of people trying to change the world through creative, insightful effort have got to come together to be a force that initiates forward-focused thinking.

This blog is not about me, really. This space is meant to explore the creativity, culture and craftsmanship that I consider myself  lucky to be surrounded by every day. It’s about creative thought, creative execution, artistry and people that I find inspiring. I hope you do, too.

Let’s take a few steps forward and see what we can see…
