In addition to my creative work, I’m a seasoned journalist and editor with three decades of executive experience.
I’m an accomplished producer of compelling, visually dynamic content that engages and activates readers who love style, pop culture, home decor and entertaining, plus all aspects of fashion, beauty and grooming.
As a brand ambassador and storyteller, I possesses a distinctive ability to build businesses by innovating and bringing fresh yet pragmatic approaches to existing ideas and franchises.
I’m highly regarded for my skill in articulating and executing creative visions persuasively and passionately; for collaborating with and inspiring others; and for delivering exceptional results. (Also for my humility.)
