THE BASIC STUFF
WHO I AM
I’m a strategy-minded creative with a background in fashion merchandising and experience across e-commerce, visual content, and digital experiences.
My background and skills are multifaceted, allowing me to approach ideas from different perspectives and connect consumer insight, product, brand, and creativity.
HOW I THINK
I believe strong creative work starts with a reason to exist.
I like to begin with research, looking at the consumer, market, trends, and brand before developing an idea. From there, I use those insights to guide the creative direction and bring the idea to life.
I’m naturally curious and detail-oriented. I enjoy researching, connecting ideas, and thinking about how the pieces fit together while keeping the bigger picture in mind.
