Questions?

All of the moments and experiences we choose to remember and take along with us, starts with a question. How can we reach new clients? How can we increase awareness? How can we elevate our messaging and not alienate our core customer? It all begins with a question. My goal is for us to find the most realistic path to find that answer with a little creativity, collaboration, and partnership. The return should be growth and yet another question; how can we make it better?

    As a New York City native, I have experience working abroad and at New York based international headquarters, where I have helped in the re-establishment of international offices, worked collaboratively on global brand presentations & trade shows, while contributing creative insight and support on retail openings and wholesale expansion projects.  In my years of experience, I have held creative positions at globally respected houses and storied brands who are in stages of refresh and exploration, such as Tommy Hilfiger, Giorgio Armani, Cartier, Brioni, Zanella, Luciano Barbera, and Free Country to mention a few.

  • I have been very fortunate to work cross-functionally with an array of unique in-house teammates and partner with talented consultants and agencies on numerous retail and e-commerce projects.
