What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead brand strategy, creative systems, and integrated marketing for an organization where I can align teams, clarify complex priorities, and create audience experiences that move people to action.

I've built Hakaba Design into an independent brand and creative consultancy, advising 40+ clients on positioning, identity systems, campaigns, and audience experiences. My work includes a seven-year partnership with Georgia's State Health Benefit Plan, creating annual healthcare decision guides and the BENPRO Conference brand experience.

At World Changers Church International, I directed integrated marketing strategy and creative operations across digital, print, email, SMS, video, and live events. I led a 10-person creative team, supported five major conferences and 25+ annual events, and helped exceed a major conference registration goal by 4,000 attendees.

I bring clarity to complex communication challenges, align stakeholders around a creative vision, and equip teams with sustainable brand systems that keep organizations moving forward with purpose.
