He finds the heart, soul and engine to a concept and creates it within a realm of relevance with the built in elements added to enhance the success of the resonance of the message and intent regardless if it’s via the medium of short ads, short films, long films, song, holiday card, public display piece or whatever slice of the market out there. If bold creative writing is needed, Dax brings his 15 years of professional experience to the table and never phones it in. Even when the client hand cuffs his creative hands behind his back, his feet continue typing and figuring out a way around luddites and byzantine thinking.

He can just as quickly be tender, grim, inspirational, to supernatural. You can’t go wrong bringing Dax on your team, the only question is will you allow him to take you beyond right.
