I'm a writer, strategist, and consultant. In other words, I am an endlessly curious word nerd and an expert at turning data into stories.

Over the past 10+ years, I've helped shape several brands across various industries—from technology (Mozilla) to travel (Entriva/CIBT) to toothpaste (Colgate), and more.

Regardless of the challenge, my approach is simple: I combine multi-industry insights with a client-specific lens. I focus on each brand's unique needs, examine the world around it, and listen to what customers say (and don't say). That's how I find the magic that makes my clients’ brands magnetic. That's how I help my clients craft a damn good story.

When I’m not doing brand work though, sometimes I have thoughts about it. You can read them in publications like Campaign US, Quirk’s and Brand Quarterly (or you can just catch some of my ideas over on LinkedIn!).

But when the moon comes out, I tend to start cooking up fiction, poetry and essays, which have been published by HuffPost, African Writer, Hudson Valley Writers Guild, Arcana Poetry Press, and more
