Brand Director | Marketing Communications, Creative Direction

Digital & Media

As a brand and marketing leader, I thrive at the intersection of creative innovation and data-driven strategy. With over 15 years of experience, I’ve led teams to create compelling brand narratives that fuel growth in apparel and consumer goods. But let’s be real—I'm a bit of a weirdo, and that’s exactly what makes me valuable. My life and work aren’t separate. I’ve raced cars, run art galleries, built fashion brands, and even sculpted physical art pieces. All of that feeds into how I approach brand strategy and problem-solving. It’s all connected. I don’t just think outside the box; I’ve built the box, painted it, and probably raced it down a hill. My background in both business and art drives me to explore the "why" behind every idea, and that’s where I thrive—by going upstream to uncover the core of any challenge. I believe business is art, and collaboration is the canvas. Working with people isn’t just about sharing ideas—it’s about creating something new together. It’s my job to ask the deep questions, activate my identity within the work, and drive brands toward meaningful growth. Let’s connect if you're looking for a strategic partner who merges creativity with purpose, bringing a bit of artistry to everything I do.
