Summary

In a landscape where visibility is easy but connection is rare, I help brands and leaders craft narratives that are felt, remembered, and followed. Drawing on a decade across journalism, agencies, and corporate communications, I bring a 360° perspective that blends editorial instinct, strategic agility, and business alignment.

My approach puts people at the center—shaping stories that reflect their goals, needs, and emotions. The result: messages that simplify complexity, feel authentic, and build trust.

From technology and B2B to lifestyle, health, education, architecture, and startups, I design multi-format strategies that go beyond impressions to create meaning—turning brands into communities and disruption into movements.
