who I am
A Creative Director, Editorial Director, big-picture thinker. Plus a really, really good copywriter.
what I do
I have a passion for building brands and creating compelling marketing in the beauty, fashion, and lifestyle spaces. Some areas where I have expertise:
• Omni-channel marketing campaigns (Top to bottom of funnel)
• Brand /product positioning
• Brand voice development
• Email, ecommerce, video, & digital marketing
• Direct response/performance marketing
• Environmental graphics, retail signage, & OOH
• Agency/vendor relationship management
• Product naming
• Brand, editorial, & creative strategy
• Beauty & still-life photo shoot production
• Interviewing, hiring, & building effective teams
• Mentoring, coaching, & being "work mom"
When I’m not shopping on Instagram or doing a HIIT class, you can find me watching garbage TV, being outdoorsy in Lake Tahoe (skiing if it's winter, floating with a wine slushie if it’s summer), or hanging out with my two poorly behaved Bengal cats, Juno and Penelope.

what makes me special
I am a creative with a strong marketing mindset, and believe that good work has to work. It can't just be beautiful and inspirational—it has to conform to best practices, be channel-appropriate, be scannable and digestible, and make sense to the customer. Sometimes that means using the word "sale." Sometimes the best way to get things done is to make a template. Sometimes the price or logo really does need to be bigger.
There's never enough budget or resources or time, but this is where I
thrive—creating efficiences, identifying priorities, picking the right
battles, using resources wisely, and being a good teammate
and generous partner in order to Get. Things. Done.
