From strategy to story, marketing and technology are at their best when they build trust, spark curiosity, and create community, one interaction at a time.

What I do

At heart, I’m a connector.

With a spectrum of expertise spanning the full communications journey, from concept and design through development, launch, and ongoing stewardship, I focus on creating touch points that are connected, reliable, and meaningful.

My work lives in the space where creativity meets structure, where design serves strategy, and where connection is the ultimate outcome.

Freelance

I selectively take on freelance projects for small (usually local) businesses and nonprofit organizations, partnering with teams who need thoughtful strategy and practical execution.
