Who I Am

Strategist. Builder.
Creative.

I'm a communications and marketing strategist with over a decade of experience growing brands, building communities, and translating creative vision into measurable results.

I've served as startup CMO for multiple early-stage companies — building brands from zero, launching communities, and delivering growth with limited budgets and high stakes. I've grown accounts to 500,000+ organic followers, cold-called CEOs to close distribution deals. I'm equally comfortable in the boardroom, on a campaign brief, and in the weeds of a Discord community at 11pm.

What sets me apart: I don't just make things look good. I build creative systems that perform at scale — with the storytelling instincts to make audiences feel something, and the analytical backbone to prove it's working.

Based in Bastrop, TX. Available for consulting engagements, campaign direction, and retained creative partnerships nationwide.

The Butt Bra — A Hardware Invention That Went Viral, Then Met COVID
Invented a first-of-its-kind shapewear hardware product at Founder Institute Silicon Valley. The launch went parabolic — tens of millions of views, 4,000+ waitlist orders, and 600K+ organic followers across platforms. Then COVID hit, manufacturing collapsed, and cofounders left to homeschool. The idea was validated. The timing was not.

The Full Picture

Published. Creative.
Relentlessly Resourceful.

The best creative strategists are whole people. I write. I paint. I make music. And when the system failed me, I learned the law and beat it — three times, pro se. These are not footnotes. They are the same instincts I bring to every campaign: curiosity, precision, and a refusal to accept an outcome that is not right.

Pro Se Legal Wins
When No One Would Represent Me, I Represented Myself.

Winning in court without an attorney is rare. Winning on appeal is rarer still. I did both — multiple times, across two states.

14th Court of Appeals — Texas
Prevailing party on appeal, argued pro se. A level most practicing attorneys never reach.
Civil Fraud — California
Won against a fraudster in California civil court. Self-drafted, self-argued, prevailing outcome.
Landlord-Tenant — California
Won a civil case against a roommate who refused to pay rent. Filed, argued, and prevailed without counsel.
Instamommies Co-Founder Dispute
Won the case that validates the story — the legal record confirms who built the company and what was taken.
