About
Brand strategist, photographer, and marketing consultant helping small to mid-sized businesses build cohesive, memorable brands that look as sharp as they perform. With Minnesota Carlson marketing training and years running my own photography business, I intersect strategy and aesthetics, shaping brand identity, photography, and social media so your presence feels boardroom-ready yet approachable to real people. When I’m not partnering with clients, you might find me at church, on a quiet walk, or in a neighborhood coffee shop with a latte, recharging so I can bring grounded, people-first thinking back to work.
