Partner Services*
When working direct-to-client, I often partner with other consultants & freelancers on a per-project basis to provide a broader range of branding/marketing services — all at a talent level you would normally find at a traditional full-service firm. 

Who hires me
Businesses and Marketing Leaders
Businesses typically come to me when they are ready to show up in a new way. I commonly tap into my network to build small teams around specific needs as businesses grow and evolve.
Start-Ups
Getting in on the ground floor to help shape a story or validate the viability of an idea is about as fun as it gets. I'll work at the appropriate speed and right level of fidelity based on where you are at and where you need to go.
Digital Product Owners
Regardless of the stage of your product, I can partner with technology and marketing teams to improve a product's UX/UI and bring cohesiveness to the visual language.  I have experience building proof-of-concepts, prototypes, gathering feedback, making iterative changes and delivering assets for launch.  
Agencies & In-House Departments
I have experience leading projects, teams or working closely with an existing team. My value comes in my ability to concept and execute at a high level across a wide range of marketing channels.
