About

An avid explorer of words with a niche in storytelling and brand positioning. I believe a beautiful design or branding without a message/guide is a waste of pixels, this is why I verbally break down products to their simplest form.

I have had the opportunity to provide a variety of copy and content guides for different industries, ranging from Fintech to lifestyle, fashion to NFTs. This puts me in a unique position to effortlessly explore and master several tones and voices, giving me flexibility as well as insight to work in just about any industry.

I excel in user research, content strategy, and much more to make products and businesses user-centered at all times.
