About

With 12+ years across creative production, startups, entrepreneurship, and F&B product development, I specialize in turning raw product ideas into market-ready consumer brands. As Founder and Product Innovation Lead at Moonbitz, I lead the full commercialization process across product concept, formulation direction, brand architecture, packaging strategy, costing, pricing, production feasibility, sales collateral, and go-to-market planning. My work sits at the intersection of product innovation, brand strategy, manufacturing logic, and commercial execution, creating products that carry a clear story, look strong on shelf, make sense on margin, and can actually move in the market. My experience is built through real-world business execution, not theory. As a founder-operator, I have handled actual products, suppliers, production challenges, packaging trade-offs, labor realities, distributor conversations, retail opportunities, customer feedback, and the financial pressure of building a business from the ground up. This gives me a practical edge: I understand how ideas break in the real world, and how to rebuild them into stronger, commercially viable products. I use AI-assisted workflows to accelerate product ideation, visual direction, market research, copywriting, and business analysis, while keeping every decision grounded in operational reality, pricing discipline, and market relevance.
