Every project starts with listening. Sometimes that means turning a website refresh into a full brand overhaul, because the story underneath deserves more. Sometimes that means producing a brand video in-house to protect a client's budget without sacrificing quality. Sometimes that means leaning into a brand's purpose when a global pandemic upends everything else.
Whatever the moment calls for, the approach is always the same: find the strategic path forward, and stay on it until the work is done right.

Served as brand manager and communications strategist for The Stair Barrier, leading an integrated campaign that drove significant growth through product reviews, media placements, influencer collaborations, and retail channel management.
Built influencer and brand partnerships that directly contributed to $700,000+ in attributed revenue for Keenz Stroller Wagons — proof that strategic communications drives business results, not just awareness.
Secured national media coverage and brand partnerships generating millions of media impressions and brand awareness for Belabumbum, successfully positioning the brand for acquisition in 2019.
Keenz was preparing to launch four new stroller wagon models and needed a brand refresh that could carry the weight of a major go-to-market moment without a major marketing budget.
As fractional Director of Communications, I led the refresh of the Keenz website and brand messaging to support the go-to-market launch. To maximize the marketing budget, I took the brand video in-house — developing the storyboard, recruiting the filmmaker, and providing hands-on production support from concept through completion.
The result was a professional brand video deployed across the website, YouTube, and social channels that delivered the production value of an agency shoot at a fraction of the cost — saving Keenz $15,000+ compared to bids received from outside production companies.

Girl Friday's messaging during LA's nearly 2-year COVID lockdown was a masterclass in the power of leading with your why. When the company's how and what were disrupted, we could have gone silent. We led with the founder's purpose instead.
Girl Friday was founded to help busy families — and COVID made that mission more relevant than ever. Rather than pull back on communications, we leaned in. We moved to weekly emails and filled the brand's newsletters and social channels with information its audience needed: introductions to trusted professionals, practical tips for managing lockdown with little ones, humor, and a steady, reassuring presence.
When LA County's restrictions were lifted, Girl Friday was still in business with deepened client relationships and more leads.
Sometimes a client knows exactly what they need. Sometimes the right move is to look closer and recommend something bigger. My goal is always the same: website, brand messaging, and collateral that accurately reflect who you are, speak directly to the people you serve, and work hard for your organization long after our engagement ends.
Sarah Olin had built something worth talking about — a coaching platform and consulting practice helping women thrive at work and at home. She needed a PR campaign that could introduce both her brand and her voice to the audiences who needed to hear from her most.
Over six months, I led a targeted media campaign positioning Luscious Mother as a go-to resource for working mothers and LUMO as a leader in workplace culture and women's retention.
Below is a look at the results of Sarah's strategic brand investment.
