Marketing is where art meets business.
Find the deeper story. Shape it into something powerful, and make sure it lands.
About Me.
What do I mean when I say marketing is where art and business meet? It means being purposeful and using critique-driven thought. Great marketing is accomplished by lifting up ideas that deserve the spotlight—and challenging ones that don’t.
With that methodology, you can turn ideas into workable systems, strategy into relatable stories, and creativity into pipeline.

Observations and strategy notes from where creative meets corporate. Written by a marketer who still believes story, taste, and intent matter more than algorithms.
Project: PocketWriter
Spending a decade as a one-person marketing consultancy, I partnered directly with founders, artists, communicators, and business leaders across a similarly diverse range of verticals, audiences, and business models.
Solving real business problems under real constraints, each project moved me further from being a creative vendor to an operator, developing strategies, achieving outcomes, and making an impact without the safety net of large budgets or big teams.
A profitable experiment in applied business thinking, it shaped who I am today, refined my passion for building momentum when things get stuck, and gave me the perspective of every seat at the table.
