Crafting exceptional creative and marketing strategies that help accelerate growth.

With over 15 years of experience in brand development, creative direction, marketing, and public relations, I have earned a reputation for solving complex problems with simple, innovative solutions.

Currently, I serve as the Creative Director at RocketRez, where I have been instrumental in propelling the company’s growth from a small startup to a globally recognized leader in ticketing and operations. My contributions have been vital in securing seed funding through our recent Series B.

Over the past 6 years, I have collaborated with businesses across various industries, including lifestyle, technology, outdoor, and cycling, to communicate their unique stories through visually compelling content for social media, web, and internal distribution channels.

I am the founder WhatBars.com, a user-friendly web tool catering to cyclists, which attracts more than 200k unique visits from cyclists worldwide each year.
