About

Born in the NJ suburbs, at 10 years old we moved 3,200 miles to the most northern town on the UK mainland... 4 hours train from the nearest cinema.

 

It was an absolute culture shock!

However, it was the most informative experience of my life, and it's ultimately the foundation of all my work:

Understanding cultures and what makes people passionate.

What I do

I help get people excited about brands. For me, passion and interest stems from culture.

 

Who is your brand? Who is your audience? & how do you want them to feel?

 

Once you answer these questions, we can bridge that gap; giving your brand personality and guiding your audience's feelings.
