Managing partner with Cohere® based in Baltimore. Passionate about small business, real estate, and hospitality.
Intro
Over the past ten years, I have had the privilege of building a career while helping people bring their ideas to life. Starting as a social media intern, I have played nearly every role in a boutique creative agency, leading to my current position as a Partner and leader in the firm.
I’ve found that by just showing up, and consitently being there for people, great things can and will happen. I lead with positive assumptions and an open mind.

Experience
In my Partner role as Director of Business Development, and key Account Manager, I lead creative agency projects through the entire process from prospective client on-boarding, through strategy, into naming, messaging, web and digital implementation, collateral and signage concepting, and out the door into production and ongoing marketing engagements. I also know enough to know when I don’t know something - one of my key strengths is finding like-minded partners in technology, development, architecture, and design that mesh with a client’s objectives. As such, from my position, I’ve collaborated with many dozens of creative teams, artists, vendors, and platforms along the way.
Below is a recent selection of projects I’m proud to have managed through my work with Cohere.
Strategy, growth and project mgmt for a CPG startup
Naming, strategy, and launch for a shared commercial kitchen
Naming, strategy, and mgmt for mixed-use property development
Naming, strategy and mgt. for a new apartment listing brand
Naming, strategy for a series of retail wine collaborations
Naming and brand strategy for an award-winning cocktail bar
Full rebranding and web project mgmt for an architecture firm
Brand, content, and launch strategy for a new furniture brand
My Past
Before my career with Cohere, I learned the ins and outs of social media, PR, marketing, research, design, and content strategy with groups including Warschawski, The Consumer Technology Association, and The Consumer Electronics Tradeshow (CES).
Along the way, I tried my hand at (and volunteered my time to) several failed startups, and dabbled in political consulting and research. I wouldn’t trade that experience for anything.
