An Innovative digital marketer with a creative edge
Within digital marketing, I strive to achieve the perfect balance between creativity & data-driven analysis. This dual approach allows me to generate innovative solutions while continuously refining strategies based on performance metrics to reach KPIs.Â
My diverse background in film production, photography, graphic design, & web design/development not only provides a comprehensive understanding of how each element of a project must collaborate to achieve the best results but also equips me with a unique perspective & innovative ideas for problem-solving.
My experience as a film producer & cinematographer has honed my ability to communicate effectively with team members, even under pressure, to achieve shared goals. As an entrepreneur, I bring a self-starter mentality to every project, ensuring that I approach challenges with determination & initiative.
I draw inspiration from all kinds of art, with some of my favorites being; films (indie coming-of-age stories are my go-to), poetry, street art, & architecture (especially the “Windy City” of Chicago). This fuels my passion for creating engaging & impactful digital marketing campaigns.
