I love to work with clients that want to be better – better understand real challenges and opportunities, better develop and execute a unique brand positioning. To help clients accentuate, position, and broadcast their value, I employ a rich arsenal of marketing expertise. In all areas, I aim to help brands define their space and make differentiated connections with critical audiences.

• Brand development (competitive research, strategy, positioning)
• Marketing communications (strategy, developing internal channels and practices, writing, editing, design management, media relations)
• Consumer insights (profile development, innovation, testing)

Over the past 20+ years of my career, I have had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of clients in different industries, B2B and B2C alike. Select clients include Kering, Omnicom, FileNet, Bates 141, The North Face, McDonald’s, UBS, Coca-Cola, Avon, Ray Ban, Ralph Lauren, and The Research Board.

My education includes a B.A. in International Relations and another in Languages from Mills College in Oakland, California. I also received a certificate in Fashion Design from The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles, California.
