I help brands move past what’s expected and build experiences that feel honest, human, and worth paying attention to.

For businesses & founders who who give a shit

Great if you need to get clear on what your brand stands for, who it’s speaking to, and how to say it in a way your people will actually listen.

Strategy

Great if you need a clear visual direction for a campaign, launch, photoshoot, or brand refresh. I set the creative vision, build the references, and bring in the right collaborators to make it happen.

Art Direction

Great if you want to bring in an outside perspective to challenge default thinking, uncover overlooked opportunities, and shape more inclusive brand and creative decisions.

Case Study: BurningBrooklyn (Coming Soon!!)

BurningBrooklyn (or BB to her friends) is a secondhand vintage brand built on the belief that everybody deserves clothes they feel hot in.

Really early in my career, I noticed something about the business/freelance/entrepreneur space: there's no room in it for humanity. It sorts us into boxes — who we should be, what we should do, what to aspire to. And in those boxes, work stops being a form of self expression or an authentic place to show up for people.

So I decided to do it differently. I don't have a niche (scary, I know). I direct, I design, I strategize, or write, depending on what the moment calls for.

I believe the strongest creative work comes from staying curious, working collaboratively, and resisting the urge to force every problem into the same solution.

The expression may change, but the intention stays the same: to create thoughtful creative worlds that brings brands closer to the people they’re meant to serve.
