ABOUT ME
I'm a Canadian leader and brand strategist with about 13 years of experience working and studying across the U.S. and Finland.
My approach has been deeply shaped by my foundation from Philadelphia, "The City of Brotherly Love," and Helsinki, A global design hub (think Marimekko, Iittala, or Alvar Aalto).
I help shape how a brand looks, sounds, and behaves, and I care as much about how the work gets made as how it lands.
On one side of that there's direction: campaigns, visual identity, art direction, and the craft calls that make a brand recognizable. The other side is everything behind it: the ways of working, and the people and partners who make the work possible at scale.
Research and competitive intelligence run underneath both. Service design is how I connect them.
A brand's visual expression should be as functional as it is beautiful. I've led major campaigns, launches, and initiatives, and I build the "creative engines" behind them: what turns brand vision into repeatable output and measurable results.
My Philosophy:
(a). Learn to Understand
(b). Analyze & Collaborate
(c). Design & Create
(d). Iterate to Refine
