I'm a branding & marketing strategist, project & people manager, and art & copy creative director with over 20 years of experience helping private and public sector clients establish their brands, animate their voices and win their audiences’ attention.
I’ve worked in-house and at big agencies, rebranded organizations from the inside-out, and hung my own shingle. I love navigating the bridge between ground-breaking ideas and grounded logic. These days, I’m using my creativity, intuition and coaching skills to help people and organizations expand their ability to do good things in the world.
Recently, I:
Researched and wrote a series of marketing outreach materials to help The Nature Conservancy describe the ways they’re fighting climate change. I led workshops to instruct their staff on the best ways to communicate person-to-person with their conservative audiences.
Copy edited and creative directed a series of documents to help the Equitable Banking Foundation establish the standards for helping mainstream banks expand their lending practices to more fairly offer credit and financing to people from all backgrounds.
Coached a solopreneur through the branding process. She just launched her consulting practice to help leaders navigate change and lead change to increase diversity, equity and inclusion within their organizations and communities.
In my free time, I lollygag in my garden with my terrier-shitzu mix and savor delicious food with my boyfriend. And I help people discover the elemental archetypes of their psyches through astrology readings. Pre-panny, I designed and taught classes on marketing and creativity at Pacific Northwest College of Art and led a series of active-imagination meditation groups at Portland Underground Graduate School to help people learn how to connect to and express their heart-breaking emotions like grief, shame and loneliness. I’m passionate about helping people who are confined to their safe, controlled spaces of logic and rationality begin to open up, blossom and feel.
