What I'm looking for
Creative Strategy Executive with 15+ years building and leading multidisciplinary teams, launching brands and shaping 360° experiences across CPG, fashion, hospitality, real estate, education, private equity and tech.
15 years of experience aligning design thinking with business goals. I’ve shipped atoms and electrons across diverse industries, engaging audiences around the world. My work is driven by a passion for uncovering the emotional connection between people and brands—and expanding those moments into meaningful experiences that move people to take action.
This is my Why.
