Canadian-born brand and communications leader with 15+ years of experience helping organizations refine their voice, build authority, and connect across borders. I started my career in media and publishing, founding Kinfolk, a media platform that grew to reach millions with sales in over 100 countries. Along the way, I published a series of New York Times-bestselling books - collaborative projects exploring creativity, culture, and meaningful work. Since then, I’ve worked across sectors - from advising leading design companies and cultural institutions to overseeing brand and communications teams of 100+, including at a $1B publicly traded organization. Whether shaping brand strategy, navigating cultural change, or helping teams communicate with greater clarity and care, I’m always focused on building meaningful connections: between people, audiences, cultures, and ideas.
