What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a marketing and business development leadership role where I can position a design-focused professional services firm for growth through strong brand strategy, pursuits, storytelling, client relationships, and cross-functional collaboration.

I lead growth-focused marketing and business development for architecture, engineering, and design-focused professional services firms. At Jahn/ Architecture, I partner with senior leadership to expand into Europe and the Middle East, cultivate strategic partnerships, and direct pursuits from kickoff through submission.

Previously at Goettsch Partners, I unified global marketing and communications, built the firm’s social presence from inception to approximately 1,500% audience growth, and achieved an 89% pursuit success rate by aligning marketing, PR, business development, leadership, and design teams.

I’ve led firmwide rebrands, award-winning proposals, PR programs, digital storytelling, video and photography initiatives, and content strategies that strengthen visibility and support growth. My campaigns have earned coverage in Arch Record, Dezeen, and Metropolis, while award submissions resulted in more than 300 design honors.

My work combines brand positioning, pursuit leadership, client engagement, and technical storytelling to communicate design philosophy and project value.
