As a strategy and insights consultant, I specialize in uncovering the emotions of feeling seen. With over a decade of award-winning marketing experience, I've gained insight into a diverse array of consumers from mobile gamers and fitness fanatics to steakhouse diners and semi-truck drivers. My career began in advertising agencies (Rokkan, Translation, HMH), before moving to an in-house brand consultancy at the world's leading music company (Universal Music Group), and now working independently with partners looking to create breakthrough moments in culture.
