Let's Talk

Founder. Strategist.
Horse Wrangler.

My favorite job was wrangling horses in Telluride, CO in my twenties. What I learned from that job has stayed with me through everything else I have done from managing teams, to parenting, to showing up for hard conversations.

Horses teach you when to approach, when to back off, and how with just the right pressure at just the right moment they come to you. Every relationship I've built since has worked the same way.

I know what it is to build something from nothing, grow a team, take care of customers, and earn business entirely by word of mouth. I approach every puzzle creatively and with determination. I don't quit on the hard ones.

My clients grow their contracts. My teams stay. That's not an accident.

What I Stand On

Power. Truth. Love.

These are not words I put on a wall. They are the foundation I build on in every engagement, every campaign, every room I walk into. When systems are built with power, truth, and love at the center, they hold. They earn trust. They produce work that matters and lasts. Out of balance, each of these values becomes something else entirely cheap, brittle, or dangerous. But together, in right relationship, they can build the world we need.

What I Do

How We Work Together

Marketing Leadership

You need senior marketing leadership but you're not ready for a full-time hire. I embed with your team, own the strategy, and drive execution, bringing 15+ years of brand-building, campaign development, and communications expertise to bear on your most important growth challenges.

Every engagement begins with a Discovery and Alignment Session to ensure strategy is rooted in your brand and values from day one.

Strategic Advisor

Sometimes you don't need someone in the weeds. You need a clear-eyed outside perspective from someone who's built things, navigated crises, and won fights that looked unwinnable. I work with founders, executives, and organizations to sharpen strategy, clarify narrative, and move with intention.

Every engagement begins with a Discovery and Alignment Session because the best advice is grounded in a clear understanding of who you are and what you're actually trying to build.

Team Building

Play is how real teams get built. The best teams don't form in conference rooms. My facilitated workshops use play to take leadership teams out of their comfort zones and into a generative space, because real collaboration requires trust, and trust requires vulnerability.

After each session, I debrief directly with leadership identifying where trust is breaking down, naming the weak spots, and providing a clear, actionable picture of what needs to change to create the psychological safety that produces genuinely great work.

For teams who want to go further, I can stay on to help implement the changes we've identified and bring the work to life.

Where We Start

Every Engagement
Begins Here

Before we build a campaign, advise on strategy, or step into a workshop, we do one thing first: we get aligned. Every engagement I take on begins with a Discovery and Alignment Session: a structured conversation that maps your brand, surfaces your values, and establishes a shared, concrete definition of what success looks like. Without that foundation, we're building on sand. With it, every decision we make together has a compass.

Step One

Map the Brand & Values

We surface what your organization actually stands for, not the mission statement, but the living values that drive decisions, attract the right people, and repel the wrong ones. This becomes the foundation everything else is built on.

Step Two

Define Success

We get specific about what winning looks like in terms concrete enough to measure and clear enough that everyone in the room agrees. Ambiguity is the enemy of great work. We eliminate it early.

Step Three

Let's GOOOOOO!

We start. With the map in hand and a shared definition of success, we move. We refine the message, sharpen the offering, and improve the work as we go. Flexibility is built in. What matters is that we know where we are headed and we keep moving toward it.

Who I Work With

Not For Everyone.
Exactly Right For Some.

I work with human-centered organizations, the ones that believe the people they serve and the people they employ are not resources to be optimized, but human beings to be respected. I work with leaders who understand that technology is a tool in service of people, not the other way around. And I work with organizations that are willing to look honestly at their values, not just print them on a wall, but actually live them.

If that's you, we're going to do great work together. If it's not, that's okay, too. There's someone else for that.

Let's Get to Work

Whether you need Marketing Leadership, a Strategic Advisor, or a facilitator who can help your team do their best work together, I'd love to hear what you're working on.
