Let's
Make it
happen.

I'm a creative performance strategist, lecturer and public speaker working at the intersection of academia and the creative industries. I partner with brands on strategic communications, and I work with students and emerging creatives through coaching, mentoring and curriculum design rooted in a progress over perfection philosophy.
