About

I’m a freelance creative strategist, researcher, copywriter, editor, and writer, who makes complex ideas resonate across cultures and channels. I’ve positioned Japanese design philosophy for global audiences, developed strategic narratives that researched funding for climate adaptation initiatives, and led research that shaped national creative industry policy in Canada.

I bring deep cultural fluency across European, North American, and Asian markets, combining rigorous research with an instinct for where ideas can travel and how they need to be shaped to land.
