Principal, Advisory Partner
Across every chapter of my work, the through-line has been the same: direction, discipline, consequence.
I began in product development, helping bring hundreds of cosmetic formulations from concept to market. That work shaped my approach early: Design with intent, operate with precision, and build things that hold up under real-world conditions.
Over time, my focus expanded into brand strategy, cultural storytelling, and platform-level campaigns, including community and programming leadership. The constant has been aligning ambition with structure, making sure creative energy is supported by clear decisions and operational clarity.
Today, through Item713, I work at the decision layer with brands, creators, and organizations navigating complex growth, visibility, and reputation environments, from emerging companies to large-scale enterprises. The work is short-term, high-stakes, and grounded in discipline: clarify constraints, collapse optionality, and move decisions into resolution. Confidential by default.
