About

I help turn business strategy into stories, content and campaigns that people care about. Over the last 14 years, I've worked across media, advertising, brand marketing, and management consulting—building brands, leading teams and shaping narratives. My work sits at the intersection of brand strategy, content strategy and creative direction. Outside of work, you'll usually find me exploring design, photography and travel. I have the curiosity of a nerd and the sensibilities of an artist.
