A Bay Area native running loose in Southern California and currently creating in San Diego. I'm all about getting my hands dirty and the collective effort. We're in this together, so let's enjoy this incredible thing we get to do for a living and make beautiful, influential experiences that speak to people, impact culture, and can change the world – or at least make someone’s day. I’m a proud partner in an LGBTQ+ owned and operated small-batch bitters company (The Bitter Queens), and I recharge outdoors and in the gym. I’m a packaging nerd, love a good book, will talk forever about my dog, and I’m a serious elephant lover. Yep, elephants.
I come to the table with a range of experience across various approaches to creativity, team structures, and content types across multiple platforms. From print and digital to the myriad of social spaces, video production, branding, influencer partnerships, experiential and events, VR, photography, packaging, and earned media – all driven by strong creative strategy. In a previous life I spent almost a decade in Hospitality and might even have a bit of Account Management experience in my background, but sssshhhhh, that's supposed to be a secret, right?
