About

After 15 years of bouncing from writer to AI startup founder to agency head working across multiple geographies, I’ve officially given up on finding a "box" that fits. I’m a non-linear thinker and a professional "I will get it done" girl. These days, I run an indie brand strategy and design studio helping Fortune 100s, ambitious startups/businesses navigate high-stakes brand narratives, all while relentlessly working toward my dream of being far away from LinkedIn and all things screens. The irony isn't lost on me. When the laptop closes: I’m usually immersed in music, books, photography, or training my dogs. I’m a very lucky wife and much to my mother’s surprise - her favorite resident rebel.
