About

For the past 10 years, I have continued to refine a holistic and nimble approach to identifying and leveraging the unexplored strengths of newbie and mature brands so they can (re)invent themselves with confidence online. I apply this approach equally to mentoring other Designers as I do consulting a client.

Client education also plays a big part of my process. I care deeply about demystifying “capital D”, Design, and making the process and its value accessible to all.
