Artist & Author. + Educator & Business Owner. + Philanthropist & Activist.
I chose to create my own intentional path. To live my life and navigate my career differently than everyone else. And I invite you to do the same.
In a world that makes us choose between being an artist or a business leader. I chose to be both.
After 15 years in the corporate world as an Architect and Management Consultant, I finally gave my creative side permission to take flight. I began writing and publishing wellness books, and later opened my own art studio, Tiny Toes Design, after my son was born.
I now dedicate my time to working on initiatives and projects that allow me to merge my creative passions with animal welfare, wildlife conservation and environmental preservation efforts.
My life’s a living work of art, continually evolving as inspiration strikes. I am a person of many talents, accomplishments and ventures, and I embrace it all.
If there’s one thing I hope you take away from my story - it’s the importance of taking chances, embracing your many talents and stepping outside of your comfort zone.
Life is too short to be anything but Courageously Creative. - Brett
