From national marketing campaigns to nimble startups.

I’ve worked with founders, marketing teams, and growing companies that needed creative direction with strategic depth. Over 20 years of hands-on team experience and clear-eyed thinking from Montana tourism campaigns to Pacifc Northwest startups.

Engagements are project-based or ongoing hourly contracts depending on the scope of work. No unnecessary retainers or long-term committments. Focused creative partnership with out the bloated agency overhead. I’ve been in the room with executive leadership, product teams, and production crews — and clear about how to move the work forward.
