Freelance Brand Invigorator

Strategy, Marketing, Content + Design

Experienced executive turned passionate writer and designer. With a background in leadership roles at top U.S. retail brands, I bring deep insight into consumer behavior, needs, and habits. I help companies - big and small - elevate their brand through strategy, design, and copywriting, by creating impactful content, graphics, web designs, and social media. My expertise spans consumer analysis, merchandising, marketing, and project management; supported by a Master Level Professional Certification in International Business and formal PMI training. As a holder of multiple design and utility patents, I thrive in innovation and ambiguity. While I collaborate with large brands, I especially enjoy helping solopreneurs and small businesses create authentic, niche-focused brands. Based in California and Italy, I offer global perspective and time zone flexibility for clients worldwide.
