About

I'm a creative director and strategist who grows brands people love. I’ve led in-house, agency, and remote teams across DTC, CPG, hospitality, media, and subscription—scaling businesses from zero to eight figures and leading $20M+ campaigns. I’m hands-on and collaborative, with a focus on performance marketing, using AI to scale output while keeping human insight and brand vision at the core.
