A few words about me
When I'm not staring off into the distance for a headshot, I spend my time building brands through creatively-data-backed marketing campaigns.
I believe brands should be built around customer-centric stories. That creativity and empathy are essential to break through the noise. That using data to guide decisions is crucial.
I'm motivated to drive growth by clarifying brand/product positioning, turning it into a compelling story, and winning customers. I'm inspired by mission-driven brands with a clear vision, a willingness to challenge the status-quo, and a desire to change the world.
