Social Media Manager | Content Strategist | Creative Producer

Strategy, storytelling, and content production for premium and enthusiast brands.

About Me

I am a marketing, creative, and client experience professional with more than five years of experience working with premium and enthusiast-focused businesses.

​

My background spans social media strategy, video production, creative direction, graphic design, analytics, paid media, business development, consultative sales, and long-term client relationship management. As a business owner, much of my career has involved selling my own expertise and guiding clients through significant decisions, from initial conversations and proposals through negotiation, closing, execution, and account growth.

​

Leadership has also become an important part of my role. I regularly manage and direct my business partner’s work, assigning projects and on-site shoots, providing creative direction and briefs, reviewing deliverables, overseeing client communication, giving constructive feedback, and maintaining accountability and brand standards. That experience has taught me how to balance high expectations with clear communication, coaching, and trust.

​

I’m equally comfortable developing a marketing strategy, producing the creative behind it, leading others through its execution, or sitting across from a client to understand what they value and communicate a product or service in a way that makes sense to them.

​

I’m especially drawn to industries where product knowledge, craftsmanship, enthusiasm, and the client experience matter, particularly automotive and luxury watches, both of which are personal passions of mine.
