I work with the people, places and platforms that elevate culture and transform 
communities.

Combining passion and purpose

When people ask me what I do, I smile, because the answer isn't as simple as I'd like it to be. I'm a creative strategy thought partner, and a dot connector. Inspired by James Baldwin's words: "The place in which I'll fit will not exist until I create it," I help cultural initiatives find clarity in their brand storytelling and build engaged and authentic communities. â€‹

​

Working with social impact brands and initiatives that center historically excluded voices, stories, collaborators, and audiences, every project becomes an opportunity to build new ways of doing "the work"—creating creative ecosystems that reflect our full humanity.

​

Because I've learned something fundamental along the way: our stories shine brightest when we're the ones holding the pen. â€‹This is the work I do—creating spaces where stories resonate, where impact meets intention, and where communities find their power.

 

This isn't just about communication or strategy. It's about building ways of seeing and new pathways to understanding.

Clients &
Collaborations

In addition to my in-house work, I've been lucky to partner with several organizations to provide strategic, culturally informed marketing and communications support.

I love the company I keep.
