Principal Consultant, Founder
In my own words…
As a true Virgo, Type A, Jewish, neurodivergent polymath, and former New Yorker, I am direct and honest. As a feminist, enneagram 2, INFJ-A, Oregonian, design instructor, mother, and Yin Yogi devotee, I fiercely advocate for those in my circle and fully embrace “different.”
Despite its bad rap, I prefer multitasking and shifting gears, yet remain present with every client and conversation. Working for myself allows me to bring a wealth of experiences together, and use them to produce program from concept to delivery, or step in at any point in a stalled project. I help people get unstuck by focusing on strengths and amplify what’s working.
My passion for pay parity is matched by my love of pitching, presenting, and facilitating community conversations. I serve leaders from organizations of all sizes who have BIG plans and but don’t know where to start. The majority of my clients are fellow small businesses, non-profit startups, B-corps consultancies, and department heads or C-Suite leadership. I support those at the top with the power and P&L to make things happen, and those with ideas and budgets to build the plan and staff it.
Having worked in nearly every industry, my clients are often former partners, and I have a strong track record with repeat business. People come to me when a project needs special attention or a team needs extra support and guidance. I am thrilled to be following my purpose, working with fellow creators, social entrepreneurs and changemakers for a kinder, more accessible, inclusive future of work.
What I do best…
I am a strategic planner, problem solver, and storyteller with a designer’s eye for detail.
I amplify your strengths and tell it like it is. I help you get unstuck, figure $hit out, and design a plan that works for you.
I show you how to quiet your inner critic to show you what a baller you already are!
I connect you with talented humans.
I’m flexible, quick on my feet, and have a DEEP toolbox of resources. I lead with radical authenticity and radical acceptance, confidently but compassionately.
Remove friction. Seek ease. Find flow.
What it’s like to work with me…
I am your copilot, navigator, and flight crew in one.
If you have an idea, a vision, or a deep desire, we will take you from intention to action.
I’m more than a thought partner or technical advisor. As a strategic brand consultant, I’m also hands on, creating, copywriting, and designing your brand with you.
Not only do we set the direction, tone, and strategy, but we take it for a test drive.
Let’s strategize where your want to grow, what you can outsource, and find ways to increase your social impact, too.
Together, we find our flow.

Are you ready to change work and redefine business for good?
“Having the power to speak up sounds great until you speak up, and you notice male executives in the back of the room whispering, ‘Who’s that?’ to each other.”
This does not mean you should be quiet or play small. It means you’re in the wrong room or you need support with messaging. I can help you with both!

A selection of highlights from my work on brands and businesses that made an impact…
I’ve supported more amazing powerhouse women than I can count. In 2019, before I started my business I tried. It was over 200. I’ve helped solopreneurs, small businesses (WOB and DMBE), and department leaders within bigger organizations to find their voice and bring their creative vision to life.
I worked in-house at several big creative agencies and had a long stint at a Fortune 100 whose mission is to “bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete* in the world.”
I managed large multi-disciplimary teams on global pitches, winning AOR for a travel brand building a world where you belong.
I facilitated a new brand launch, social media, event design, and editorial team, started by and built for women of color. Producing their vision for an inclusive travel platform with the message “We Belong here” was a huge privilege and changed my perspective on the world permanently.
I won a One Gold award for creative management, supporting the brilliant video game vision of Momo Pixel, reminding everyone that other people’s hands do not belong on a Black woman’s hair.
I drove a brand launch for 250+ C-suite women in Advertising, to ensure all agencies create equitable and safe cultures. I’ve also produced branding and SWAG for a popular festival and community for diverse internet creators.
I’ve written marketing, supported curriculum, and scoped projects for a leading AR/VR tech ethics researcher.
I’ve served on the board of a non-profit focused on dignity and honor for all working women, facilitating a rebrand and strategy with belonging at its heart.
I’ve provided brand strategy and communications for an inclusive ride-share startup, helping them land funding from a AMEX and national recognition.
