Brand Marketer · Positioning, Pricing & Email

A brand is how it feels, what it costs, and what it says.

I get all three right for small business owners who are brilliant at what they make and would rather not think about how to sell it. For one photographer, that meant average orders went from $39 to $149.

Systems & AI · Revenue strategy

Took over marketing for a school-photography business managing 6 partner schools. Rebuilt pricing and packaging, removed a booking-fee barrier for families, and set up an AI-assisted inbox so client response time dropped from 7 days to under 24 hours.

About

Warm by nature. Sharp by habit.

I’m a brand marketer who connects how a brand looks and feels to how it sells. I’ve done it for national brands at an agency (LoveSac, Quench, Thairapy), on the sales floor at Athleta, and as a consultant for small businesses, where I owned positioning, pricing, email, and the results.

I’m easy to work with and quick to spot what’s off: a fabric that feels cheaper than the price, a message that doesn’t match the product, a fee that keeps customers away. Then I fix it.

I’m looking for an in-house brand marketing role at a company whose products I believe in.

Outside work, I’m vegan, I’ll make a strong case for plant-based eating to anyone who’ll listen, and I’d choose a night at the theatre over almost anything.
