ABOUT
I’m a creative-strategist & workshop facilitator based in Manhattan.
I help brand clients, internal teams, agencies and entrepreneurs tackle challenges and achieve break-throughs with a 360 discovery approach toward cultivating commercial success through big idea frameworks.
I work fluidly with teams, toward identifying upstream strategic recommendations and/or developing downstream creative solutions that align:
Commerce, Community + Culture
Whether the quest is foundational, as in positioning, or at the marketing campaign level, the resulting framework has lasting impact on: profitability, organic growth, cultural relevancy, expansion readiness.
Do more with less.
