In My Own Words
WRITER • CONTENT DIRECTOR • EDITOR
Throughout my career, I’ve helped create, reintroduce, and strengthen brands belonging to a variety of businesses. From restaurants to cosmetic surgeons, and from social justice co-operatives to tech startups, I’ve helped develop distinct brand voices and detailed brand identities, as well as clever strategies that connect all those brands with their target audiences.
