Marketing & Strategy
As founder, I work as a strategy consultant on digital transformation, marketing, and innovation projects focused on an empathetic understanding of customer needs.
Project Focus
Brand audits, positioning, and architecture; establishing vision for new digital experiences; developing omnichannel lifecycle marketing strategies across paid, earned, and owned channels.
Journalism
With an eye for design, a love of architecture, and a passion for urbanism, I've written for outlets including The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Atlantic and Metropolis Magazine.
My focus has expanded to cover infrastructure issues in the art world such as healthcare and fundraising, bringing attention to critical needs in creative communities.
Non-Profit Work
As co-founder of LA-based non-profit design east of La Brea (de LaB), I organized monthly events celebrating local creatives. We won two National Endowment for the Arts Art Works grants for our Making LA initiative.
Today, I bring those skills to the L.A. Forum for Architecture and Urban Design as a Board member.
