What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead digital marketing, social media, and creative direction for brands that value strong storytelling, data-driven growth, and original content.

I've built Sartorial Dreams into a 150,000+ follower community across Instagram and TikTok, creating original campaigns for more than 100 national and international brands.

As Digital Marketing Director at Beamina, I partner with the founder on product launches, social campaigns, paid Instagram and Facebook advertising, and end-to-end creative production. I lead the brand voice and content pipeline from concept through execution.

I also co-founded ShopShady Co., taking an independent sunglass brand from concept to launch while leading product development, influencer partnerships, paid social, and WooCommerce management.

Previously, I built ONCE86's digital marketing department from the ground up and led a team of up to 12 delivering work for 40+ clients. My background also includes agency account management, Agile digital project coordination, photography, video, editorial writing, and creative direction.
