Brand strategy for founders building something real.
I work with founders and creator-led beauty and wellness brands to get clear on what they're building, and scale it without losing what makes it worth building.
Built from the inside out.
The work lives at the intersection of brand architecture and human insight. I start with the founder. The vision. The things you can't see clearly from inside it. The strategy follows from what we find.
You leave with clarity, momentum, and a brand that sounds like the person behind it.
Four ways in.
Brand Incubation
For founders at the very beginning. Building from your story, values, and conviction into positioning, messaging, product strategy, and the groundwork for fundraising and go-to-market.
The Foundation
Intensive strategic work over four to six weeks. We identify what your brand needs most and go deep on it. Positioning, product strategy, go-to-market, retail, and the foundational decisions that shape everything after.
Ongoing Advisory
For scaling brands at a real inflection point. I work closely with the founder and team on retail expansion, Sephora strategy, go-to-market planning, and the cross-functional alignment that keeps everything moving in the same direction. A strategic partner in your corner.
Personal Brand Strategy
For creators and founders building across platforms. Translating identity into strategy and clarifying how each channel works together.

Ten years on the inside.
I started at VIOLET GREY with no beauty industry connections and no playbook. That instinct for knowing where a brand belongs and why has guided everything since.
I became the first marketing hire and third employee at Kosas. Over seven years, I helped scale the brand from a garage office to one of Sephora's top performers as VP of Trade Marketing.
