In My Own Words
Encinitas, California based storyteller and marketing professional.
I studied marketing at the University of Utah and set out into the world. From the high peaks of the Arctic to the back roads of Europe, I chased stories and built brands. I’ve produced global campaigns, led trips across oceans and borders, and managed teams with focus and grit.
I believe in simple words and strong ideas. I work at the intersection of culture, business, and the outdoors—offering strategy, writing, and brand direction that speak with clarity and truth.
When I’m not working, I run far, ski steep, surf cold water, and collect old records.

Roark x Jean-Michel Basquiat
https://www.nashjmader.com/portfolio/roarkxjean-michelbasquiatA collaboration between the estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat and Roark.
An enigmatic composer of art, music, and advocacy, Jean-Michel Basquiat has inspired creatives around the globe for decades. The Radiant Child, no stranger to the beauty derived from chaos, imbued this color into every medium of his work. This collection revels in the delicate art of abstract expression through movement, sound, and the rhythm and flow birthed from the combination of the two.
