What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead culture-first brand strategy and creative systems, work with multidisciplinary remote teams, and scale artist-focused campaigns with measurable growth.

I am a creative entrepreneur and brand consultant with 7+ years of experience building identity, visibility, and long-term growth for artists, fashion labels, and youth-led businesses. I co-founded and lead creative agencies that design visual identities, scale content systems, and run data-informed marketing campaigns across digital platforms.

I excel at leading remote, multidisciplinary teams, engineering Notion-based operations and automation, and forming strategic partnerships that expand reach on tight budgets. My work has driven multi-hundred-percent growth in streaming and significant audience expansion through authentic storytelling and performance tracking.
