Strategy + process = sustainable business

Marketing is both art and science — great storytelling combined with research and audience insights – and people at its core. Always.

With an extensive background in the arts, business, and technology, I work with small and solo creative and independent businesses — cool people making cool stuff.

Together we’ll build the kind of marketing you’ve been dreaming about — that’s true to your mission and grabs the attention of your best customers.

Let’s talk about it. Get in touch and we’ll  explore how we can work together.

The Mi’kmaq have been connected to this land and these waters for thousands of years and continue to be so in the present. We also acknowledge colonialism continues to do harm and pledge to work continually to be good allies.
