Creative Director and Marketing Strategist based in New York City.

I help brands find their voice and make it count through strategy that sees the whole picture, creative that connects, and execution that gets it done.

For the last decade, I've worked with mission-driven brands and startups where wearing multiple hats wasn't optional — it was the job. I've led creative teams, directed campaigns, managed communities, and jumped in front of the camera when needed. I'm the person who can map out a 360° strategy in the morning and shoot recipe content in the afternoon, who listens to what customers actually say and translates it into work that serves the business, the audience, and the creative vision all at once.

I believe brands shape culture, so I'm drawn to the ones trying to shape it for good.

Let’s work together.

Whether you need a creative partner for a campaign, someone to shape your brand voice, or a strategist who can also shoot the content — I'm interested in projects where creativity meets purpose.

Current Focus: Freelance creative direction, brand strategy, and content consulting for mission-driven brands. Open to full-time opportunities at agencies creating cultural impact.

WHAT I DO
Creative Direction
Leading teams and campaigns from concept to execution, maintaining creative vision across all touchpoints.

Brand & Content Strategy
Positioning, voice, messaging, and content frameworks rooted in audience insight.

Content & Production
Copywriting, art direction, video production, photography — creating the work, not just directing it.

Community & Engagement
Building and nurturing communities through authentic conversation and customer-first communication.




WHY I DO IT
Brands don’t just sell products, they shape culture. They influence what we value, how we talk to each other, and what we normalize.

I’m interested in using creative marketing to encourage better conversations, more thoughtful consumption, and a culture that values care for people and the planet.

I’m drawn to work in wellness, food, culture, journalism, and sustainability — and why I’m selective about who I partner with.

XI.
Partnerships

I approach partnerships as extensions of brand values, identifying collaborators and opportunities that feel aligned, additive, and mutually beneficial rather than transactional or surface-level.
