I've spent most of my life following my curiosity to unexpected places. I bought a moped to better understand a client's audience. I started performing improv comedy in front of strangers to stay sharp. That instinct has served me well in environments where the brief is rarely the whole story and the first job is often figuring out what problem you’re actually solving.

For more than a decade, I've shaped brands, stories, and experiences across creative, marketing, and strategy. I'm a full-stack brand leader who thinks in systems and sweats the details. I've learned that trust is rarely built through one big gesture. It comes from a hundred small decisions lining up: what you say, how you show up, and whether the experience delivers on the promise.

I'm at my best when there's an interesting problem, a high bar, and no obvious path forward. I enjoy figuring out what's actually going on, finding the thread worth pulling, and helping teams move from uncertainty to action. I'm comfortable moving between big-picture thinking and hands-on execution, wherever I'm needed most.

If you've got an interesting problem, I'd love to hear it.
