HOW I WORK

Listen first. Plan. Implement.
Spread the word.

I start by learning about your audience, your history, your team and what’s at stake. Then I look at what you already have, because the good stuff is usually already there. From there, we decide together what to say and where to say it.

A GOOD FIT

You have a mission and
a story to tell.

Some of my favorite work starts with a story that’s already strong. BreakBread World knew exactly who they were. My job was getting them in front of the right people, starting with Chronogram. Before that, I spent 20 years in-house, freelance and agency-side, leading communications through an IPO, two acquisitions and a citywide COVID-19 food program.
