About

I specialize in digital marketing, helping brands to market themselves online. I've led the digital transformation of multiple B2B and DTC brands, even converting traditionally lead-gen websites to eCommerce. I nerd out over SEO, SEM, KPIs, eCom, letter kerning, and love being creative (pretending to be a creative director is a favorite past-time but make no mistake, I am aware of my creative director limitations). My favorite projects are new brand website launches, and website redesign launches, where the growth and improvement in KPI's is measurable.
