I work to help people and organizations unearth their unique stories and live them. When I am not free lance writing, I work in business development at IDEO, a global design and innovation firm. At IDEO I help our clients solve complex problems and better communicate their vision to the world. Prior to joining IDEO, I founded my own strategic advisory firm where I designed growth strategies and product roadmaps for a breadth of retailers, from Fortune 500 firms to start-ups. I also partnered with San Francisco Accelerator RocketSpace, and helped grow their Corporate Innovation platform. Before I blazed my own trail, I worked as a consultant with Kurt Salmon, managing multi-million dollar fashion product development initiatives for large North American and Japanese clients. Iโ€™ve always told stories, from relationships to careers to getting outside. I can help you write, edit, and most importantly, find your own story.
