About

I am a wearer-of-many hats, a collaborator, a generalist, a doer who likes to cross things off lists, a curious, enthusiastic team mate. Throw a project at me and I’ll get it done. I can strategize, design, write, manage, research, art direct, talk about my dog (he has the soul of a poet), whatever is needed. And if I don’t have the exact skills, I have a large network of highly skilled humans who do.

Other things: I used to live in Sydney, and then New York, now Austin. I like exploring, big friendships, succulents, bodies of water and sometimes I tell stories about walking around NY without shoes.

In my capacity consulting as Creative Director at Homegrown, a climate tech startup, my role revolves around shaping and executing the visual brand identity across all touchpoints. From product and technology to marketing and sales collateral, I'm ensuring a cohesive brand presence. Working within a startup environment, my responsibilities are varied.

In my contracted position at Braze, I worked on the company's brand redesign, particularly focusing on photography. Additionally, I led the creative in a tentpole project to kickstart the new rebrand – the 2024 edition of the Global Customer Engagement Review. This extensive report, derived from a survey of 1,900 VP+ marketing executives, explored emerging customer engagement trends and provided strategic solutions. My contributions included designing a dynamic 48-page animated report, developing a video sizzle reel, and managing the creation of social and product graphics.



Ethic

Year: 2021-2023
Role: Creative & Product Strategy Consultant


During my time at Ethic, I spearheaded a new sustainable behavior initiative known as "Sustainability for Everyone." In this pivotal role, I took charge of crafting the UX and product development roadmap, as well as devising an effective content and creative strategy. My responsibilities included overseeing a team of freelance creatives, conducting extensive user research, and shaping the visual direction of the project, encompassing positioning, product design, and the visual brand identity. Notably, this endeavor evolved into an independent company, Homegrown.
