Whether you need a strategic partner for a long-term engagement or senior expertise for a specific program, I bring the full range — from brand strategy to production, from executive communications to high-volume campaign execution. I've been doing this across retail, B2B, technology, food service, and consumer brands for more than two decades. The list below is what I do. The client grid is proof.

​

Everything I do is AI-augmented — which means faster research, sharper copy, smarter iteration, and more time spent on the thinking that actually requires a human. The work still sounds like you. It just gets there faster.

My passion is work that performs — across every channel it touches. The projects below represent a cross-section of 25+ years of integrated campaigns, content programs, brand launches, loyalty programs, digital and social work, and executive communications for some of the world's best-known brands. Every one of them was built to move a number, not just win an award.

WHAT WE KNOW

​

Integration isn’t easy. It’s essential.

Coordinating message, channels, timelines, budgets, and agendas to a common purpose requires someone who never loses sight of the big picture while managing hundreds of moving parts. That's not a skill you develop in a meeting. It's one you develop over a career.

        

Senior thinking shouldn't come with agency overhead.

When you bring me in, you get a strategist who has done this at BBDO, Saatchi & Saatchi, McCann Erickson, and Lowe Lintas — and who has spent 25 years applying that experience directly to client problems, without the layers, the markups, or the account team telephone game.

 

I won’t waste your time.

When speed to market matters, you need someone lean, experienced, and ready to move. I ramp up, write clean, and deliver work that doesn't need three rounds of fixes to be right.

 

Unset goals are unmet goals.

I believe in the power of the brand and the rigor of measurement. Every engagement starts with clarity about what success looks like — and ends with results you can point to.

 

Woman-owned. WBENC certified. AI-forward.

 I'm obsessed with ideas that move the needle — and I use every tool available to get there faster, including
AI tools I work with daily to sharpen strategy, accelerate execution, and keep improving how the work gets done.

Sensient Global BioNutrients Logo_color.

I'm proud of every brand on this page — and prouder still of how long most of these relationships have lasted. I don't measure success in awards, though I've won some. I measure it in whether your bottom line moved, your story got clearer, and you called me again. Most of these clients did. Decades, not years.
