Accomplished brand strategist with 10+ years of experience in the branding, marketing & communications industry spanning in-house, start-up, and publishing. I have a strong interest in developing and launching sophisticated brand experiences with an editorial point of view. Acting as an equal-parts strategist and editor, I specialize in giving brands a voice through the art of storytelling. I not only have a finely honed understanding of the industry and its nuances but in connecting the design with the content and tonality reflected in both conversions and external partnerships.
