short version / 001.

I connect brand strategy, creative thinking and the systems that turn both into something useful. Nearly two decades across brands, agencies and Nike – figuring out why people care, where brands should go next, and how to actually get there.

HOW I THINK
I look for the pattern underneath the problem – what people care about, what’s getting in the way, and the small shift that could change everything.

WHERE I'M USEFUL
I’m at my best when the answer isn’t obvious – connecting strategy, creative and execution to turn a messy problem into something people can actually move on.
