WORK

My work has taken me from underwear drawers to convenience stores; from collaborations with pop stars to ethnographic research at bars; from the subtleties of financial planning to how people go about planning their lunch. And every day, I fall more in love with the job of understanding humans and their behaviors.

 

This is a sampling of just some of the brands with which I've had the honor of working, across a wide variety of marketing disciplines: advertising, digital, content, social media, experiential, retail, promotions, employee engagement, sponsorship, market research, measurement and more.
