About Me

Headshot, but make it a button down.

I'm a serial lover of things.

I became infatuated with storytelling while studying acting and filmmaking at Northwestern University.

I was smitten by music the first time I got behind the mic.

I took a fancy to business the first time I decided to "just do it myself" — and it actually kind of worked.

I realized I was obsessed with learning when I decided I could never stop doing it.

Now, I'm deliberately blending my loves and constantely creating things with them.

Like writing and performing a song in order to sell a creative idea to a client.

Or making content sharing my journey with the next generation of creative entrepreneurs.

Or using my brand building experience to help all types of brands connect with their audience —

By selling millions in creative solutions to some of the world's largest brands and developing iconic identities for disruptive newcomers.

I'm tapping into my passion for brand building by combining it with my skills in copywriting, content, strategy, and any other tools I need to get the job done.

I'm helping brands walk their walk and talk their talk,
And I'd love to take a stroll and have a chat.
