About me

I’ve worked in product and merchandisng leadership roles for 2+ decades at Amazon, Target, and a series of startups. In 2023, I started building a portfolio career and haven’t looked back since.

Three years, countless experiments, and a few instructive “mistakes” later, I’ve built a multi-six-figure independent business around my personal brand and have helped 250+ mid-career, creative professionals do the same!

TL;DR

I’ve been obsessed with frontiers my whole career. I’m early to new markets, even earlier to new ideas, and I love making meaning in the mess and sharing what I learn so others can follow. My portfolio career is shaped by five core beliefs:

#1 → A creative life is a full life.

Creativity is the heartbeat of everything I do from my writing, my business strategy, down to the way I decorate my house. That's why I am obsessed with the portfolio career model: it's allowed me to to design a life where I can be my most vibrant self because I'm creating new things each and every day.

#2 → Work should serve our lives (not the other way around).

I'm intentional about how I spend my time and my energy. I say no to a lot of things so I can say a full-bodied yes to the the handful of things that excite me. I'm not interested in being busy for the sake of being busy. I care about meaning, and building things that are high-quality than chasing shiny objects.

#3 → Clarity comes from the doing.

Clarity is something we create our way, not think our way, into. What began a few years ago as a practice of figuring shit out as I went has grown into a body of work that gives me a deep sense of purpose while also paying my bills.

#4 → Design with heart. Build with rigor.

To build successful products you have to really know your audience and your customer. And that process involves a mix of art and science; it's as much about listening as it is obsessing over the numbers.

#5 → Our environment shapes who we ultimately become.

I've lived in many places in the world, but the Pacific Northwest has my heart. It's a place that continues to shape me with it's culture and landscape. The people here carry an ethos I deeply connect with; they are grounded, independent, and reverent toward the natural world.

٩(^ᗜ^ )و Work with me

Updated September 7th, 2026, from my home office in Seattle, WA. This Fall, I am busy producing season 4 of my podcast and expanding my creative skill set. (I’m learning how to DJ and am taking a scene writing course from the WICE school in Paris.) I’m also wrapping up a big fractional consulting project for the year, but I will have room to take on a handful of coaching clients again starting in November.
