Freelance Brand Invigorator | Strategy, Marketing, Content + Design
Executive by experience, writer and designer by passion. Having worked in high level positions for various well-known USA brand retail companies, I have an overall understanding and appreciation of consumer needs and habits. I translate that knowledge into helping companies strengthen their own brand presence via 'cutting through the weeds' strategy development, design, and copywriting. Crafting 'ah-ha' content, graphic design, web design and social media management through in-depth consumer insight. Particular strength in consumer behavior to include analysis, merchandising, marketing, and project management. I have Master Level Professional Certification in International Business and I am formally trained in Project Management (PMI). I hold multiple design and utility patents of consumer products and thrive in the ambiguity of innovation. While I work with large brands, I particularly enjoy working closely with solopreneurs and small businesses to build modest, organic and authentic brands that speak to a niche audience. I live in CA and Italy, offering the unique ability to assist with global consumers and working time zones ahead is often a plus for my clients.
