I work alongside mission-driven teams as a creative partner—offering steady, thoughtful support across social, brand, and digital campaigns. Sometimes that means helping set creative direction, sometimes it’s rolling up my sleeves to execute. Most of the time, it’s a mix of both.
My approach is grounded in people-first storytelling and calm, intentional process. I focus on building creative systems that make collaboration easier and decisions clearer so your team can spend less time reacting and more time doing the work that matters.
I’m tucked into Arlington, Virginia—close enough to be on the National Mall for a rally or in Shenandoah National Park for a sunrise hike (my favorite reset). I love showing up in person when it matters, and I’m just as comfortable collaborating remotely with teams across time zones, Slack threads, and Zoom rooms.
Pretty content is nice—but the kind of work that sparks emotion, action, or a quiet “wow, this feels like me” is what sticks. Whether it’s a brand system, a video, or a social campaign, I’m always thinking about what will land heart-first and stay with people long after they’ve scrolled past.
I’ve been the one spinning plates—five deadlines, a Friday curveball, and a cup of cold coffee in hand. I know that scramble well, which is exactly why I don’t create from that place anymore. These days, I bring clarity, calm, and a steady process that helps teams breathe a little easier. When I show up, it’s to make the work feel smoother, more focused, and a whole lot more human.
I don’t just work with outdoor organizations—I’m out there with them. I’ve helped build trails in Patagonia, led a statewide hiking community here in Virginia, and partnered with nonprofits working to protect rivers, parks, and public lands. This isn’t a niche for me—it’s where I feel most at home, and it shows up naturally in the way I tell stories.
