OBSERVE.
MAKE.
LEARN.

I started a legal cannabis farm without an ag degree, a business degree, or a track record of keeping a houseplant alive.

When it’s sink or swim,
 I surf.
MARKETING · BRAND · NARRATIVE STRATEGY

Trained to understand people, culture, and context through anthropology and museology, I treat audience insight as fieldwork. I help founders and leaders turn brand personality into living product experiences people actually understand and remember—especially when the constraints get interesting.

CURATOR’S NOTE / 001

Culture isn’t what you say.
It’s what people experience.

A Modern Wunderkammer is my cabinet of curiosities: regulated agriculture, donor psychology, and software systems, held together by the same practice—treating audience insight as fieldwork. Across these seemingly different worlds, the work is the same: observe closely, read the cultural context, find the human truth, and turn it into products people remember.
