The Contrary Child
Hi! I’m an unconventional and impact-driven creative strategist, community builder, and entrepreneur who thrives on difference, challenge, and collaboration across industries.
I would love nothing more than to help you
stand out. Fitting in is like…so yesterday.
Explore this page to get a sense of who I am as a person and a professional. I believe it’s invaluable to share both so that myself and those I work with can show up as our most authentic selves (authenticity = safety = ideation = innovation). When you’re ready, let’s schedule some time to see how I can best help with your project.
A few of the diverse brands I’ve had the privilege of partnering with to create stunning campaigns.
Am I a trained clothing designer? Not at all.
But that hasn’t stopped me.
What’s stopping you? Let’s push past those blocks.
Growing up, I was often known as the contrary child for reasons that - as the name implies - you can probably imagine. I always thought about things differently, asked why a little too many times, didn’t fit neatly into one pretty box, explored different paths, loved playing devil’s advocate, knew the rules but loved breaking them, etc.
In my life, I’ve often tried to reign in my contrarian traits. But recently, something hit me.
The times I’ve excelled the most, and the times I’ve helped others excel the most, are not in spite of my contrarian nature, but because of it.
Being contrary means that I naturally challenge what’s expected and normal. It means that I value being different. In a world where being different makes you stand out, and what makes you stand out makes you succeed, being different is everything. Being challenged is what drives innovation. It’s what helps us grow. To break outside the box, you have to think outside the box. Me? Well, you’ll find me living outside the box.
And that’s what I’m here to help you do. Let me challenge you. Let’s put our heads together and think differently. And let’s have a great time doing it.
In a world where we’re too often told all the reasons why we can’t, let me be here for you to show you all the reasons why you can.
HELLO!
