Brand and business developer crafting cohesive identities and scalable frameworks for growth.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Brand & Business Developer focused on work that’s “well considered,” successfully delivered, and aligned with the ideals of the company I’m contracted by. I’m currently working alongside small and medium enterprises in their launch and development stage to design cohesive brand identity and implement the most effective business framework.
Previously, I strategized with a start-up owner on business direction and helped take a concept to a marketable product—creating logo design, product strategies, a branding pack, and the product itself. I’ve also designed graphics and promotional media posts adapted to different social media platforms while aligning to existing brand values, ethos, and motifs.
My design foundation is deep in architecture and landscape work, including serving as the sole architectural designer and liaising with clients on their design needs. I’ve led technical garden design and on-site installations, contributed as a design assistant across projects, and bring a nature- and human-centered approach to solving problems with unique, geographically specific solutions.
