My Work

STYLE

Put me in a room with curious, self-aware creators, leaders, artists, or CEOs with the capacity for better and feel the whole energy expand. They love how my artistic and business brain works — and I love putting it to work for them. Telling identity-forward stories? Innovating in the private, public, and creative sector?  Sharing thought leadership concepts? Offering intimate wisdom for founder-creator growth and development? I’m all in. In every context, my superpower lies in seeing people, the work, and the narrative in all their deeper moving parts — and then weaving those parts into a strategic, creative whole that elevates everything for good. No, for great. Because now is the time to take our greatest shot at how we connect with ourselves, each other, and our work in the world. Explore my availability below.
