I am a creative expert and strategic advisor, trained at some of the world’s most prestigious schools and top international agencies.
I help startup founders and marketing leaders who are too early stage to bring on full-time experts but are in urgent need of their expertise.
With my high-impact and flexible approach, my clients upgrade their creative concepts and strategic plans and achieve their goals faster while feeling increasingly confident about key decisions on important venture, product, and brand topics.
Hi, I’m A.
I help leaders multiply their positive impact.

I use decades of insights from working with big brands…
