HELLO. IT'S ME.
I'm obsessed with marketing and brand design, copywriting (absolutely), strategy (you bet), innovation (AR, AI all the "A's) - trust me I'm into it. But that's not all I'm obsessed with. I geek out on music from the 90's. I love to be on the water. SUP, diving, floating aimlessly in the water - you name it I'm in. I also really enjoy making people laugh - in fact it could be my super power.
