My philosophies
This isn’t my first [insert project here]. I’ve picked up some opinions, thoughts, and a few battle scars along the way — all of which help me build smarter, sharper, more meaningful work.
Empathy always ❤️
I live by one rule: lean into the messy, emotional, human stuff most brands avoid. I love figuring out what makes people tick and weaving that deeply-embodied empathy into my work. Because loyalty comes from feeling seen, not marketed to.
Be more human 🤸🏽♀️
Brands, like people, should bend and evolve with context. You don’t talk to your best friend the way you talk to your grandmother — and brands shouldn’t either. The most compelling ones know how to flex, respond with nuance, and keep things interesting.
Pressure-test the premise 👩🏻🔬
Creative briefs aren’t gospel. Once the work starts, gaps always show. That’s why I begin by interrogating the “why” — why this, why now, why them. Taking a step back leads to sharper, longer-lasting ideas (and saves a lot of headaches).
Kill your darlings 😵
Creative work is intended to solve a problem. If a concept isn’t actually solving something for you, it shouldn’t exist. Have I lost many a “clever” headline to the proverbial trash bin as a result? Yep. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
