Off the beaten path

I’ve shaped work for brands like Heineken, Amazon and Coca-Cola, with international recognition including Cannes Lions. That didn’t come from a straight path in advertising.

I started in journalism, moved to arts & culture publishing, stepped into editorial leadership, founded a PR startup, and backpacked a continent. This all honed my skills in mixing up languages when I order coffee. But also, it sharpened how I read culture and craft narratives. From first spark to execution.

Turns out detours get you further.
