About me
For more than a decade, I’ve been creating brand moments that spark emotion, drive action, and live at the intersection of culture and commerce. From building omnichannel campaigns for global beauty houses like Shiseido to crafting immersive product launches for Godiva and Kenneth Cole, I’ve made a career out of turning big ideas into experiences that resonate, inspire, and perform.
​
​Collaboration is my superpower. I’m at my best partnering with strategists, producers, and designers to tackle tough challenges, develop breakthrough ideas, and ensure the execution sings, on brief, on time, and within budget. Whether art directing a shoot, building a pitch deck that wins the room, or rolling up my sleeves to get the details just right, I approach every project with the same mindset: create with intention, execute with precision, and always keep the “why” top of mind.
