I’ve spent my career leading creative teams and building brand stories that connect from Hulu, T-Mobile, Samsung, Dignity Health, Dunkin’ and Jack in the Box. 

My work lives where emotion meets innovation, and lately, that means embracing the incredible power of Generative AI to reimagine what’s possible.

I believe in using AI as a creative amplifier, not a shortcut, empowering tools that free creatives to focus on the story, the craft, and the spark of the idea. Whether it’s scaling brand storytelling, launching employer brands, or helping a team unlock their next big idea, I love the moment when imagination becomes motion.

Alongside storytelling and design, I’m deeply experienced in performance creative - concepting, testing, and scaling campaigns built to drive measurable growth across social, digital, and video platforms. My data-driven approach ensures every creative decision connects back to outcomes, using insights to refine messaging, optimize formats, and increase conversion and engagement.

A few career highlights I’m proud of:

• T-Mobile – Led cross-functional teams across online and offline communications for the "Uncarrier", delivering engagement lifts of 30%+.

• Hulu – Helped reinvent campaign production for episodic employee stories that are "Powering Play," tripling creative output while cutting turnaround times nearly in half.

• Samsung – Brought the EVP story "Own the Unknown" to life with visuals and motion design, delivering 250+ formats in four weeks.

• Dunkin’ – Used influencer content and social vertical video to spark a 57% surge in applications.

• Jack in the Box – Built a dynamic content system powered by generative design and geo-targeting, driving 50M+ impressions and a same-store sales lift.

I’m passionate about blending storytelling, design, data, and emerging tech to create work that resonates…not just because it’s smart or scalable, but because it feels alive. And I love helping teams do the same: empowering creatives to explore, experiment, and create what’s next.

There's a weird comfort in chaos. 🌀 I used to think I needed everything mapped out before I could start. 

The right brief, the right team, the right mood. But the best work I've been part of started with a mess. A half-baked idea. A deadline that felt impossible. A team that didn't quite fit together, at least not at first. 🤝

It's funny, the things you try to avoid are often the things that push you further. 🚀 I'm not saying I love the stress. I don't. B

ut I do love what happens when you stop waiting for perfect conditions and just start. Sometimes, the mess is the point. Or at least, it's where the good stuff hides. ✨ You know what I mean??

AI Creative Director | Generative Design & Innovation Leader

There are days when leading a creative team feels like herding cats 😺. Other days, it's more like being the cat, curious, distracted, chasing after things no one else can see.

I used to think my job was to have all the answers. But now I know that more often, it's about asking the right questions, or just making space for someone else's eccentric idea to breathe 💡.

The best moments aren't when everything goes according to plan. They're when someone surprises you, or when the room gets quiet because everyone's thinking, really thinking, about what comes next 🤔.

It's messy. Sometimes it's frustrating.

If I'm honest, I still get nervous before big pitches. Still worry I'm missing something obvious. But maybe that's part of what keeps it interesting. You never really arrive. You just keep moving, keep creating and making...and keep learning how to listen 🚀.

I keep coming back to this idea: perfection is boring.

There’s something about a story with a rough edge, a design with a little friction, a campaign that doesn’t quite fit the mold. It sticks with you. It feels alive.

AI can polish anything until it gleams, but sometimes I want to see the brushstrokes. The fingerprints. The places where someone took a risk and it didn’t land perfectly, but it landed honestly.

Maybe that’s what we’re hungry for now. Not just seamless experiences, but ones that remind us there’s a human on the other side. Someone who tried, stumbled, and kept going.

I don’t know, maybe I’m just tired of the algorithmic shine. Or maybe I just miss the feeling of being surprised.

Either way, I’ll take a little imperfection over predictability any day.

Curiosity isn't a faucet you can turn on. Some days, it's flowing non-stop. 🔍 Other days, nada, no matter how hard you look...

In creative work, I've noticed that when curiosity fades, energy dips with it. The work becomes routine, ideas dry up, and even the best teams feel stuck.

But when curiosity sparks, even for a minute, everything shifts ⚡. A random question, a strange headline, an offhand comment in a meeting, suddenly, you're digging deeper, seeing opportunities you'd have missed.

You can't force curiosity. But you can make space for it. Pause when something feels odd. Let yourself follow weird questions. Encourage your team to share out-there ideas 💡.

It won't always work, and that's fine. The point is to follow where curiosity leads, even if it looks strange at first.

What's the last thing you got curious about at work? Did it take you anywhere unexpected? 🤔

Do you notice how perfect AI polish feels...so empty? ✨ I'll take rough edges any day. Doodles without the bezier curves. Songs with cracks in the voice. Photos a bit blurry. Stories told with real voices.

We're told AI will make everything seamless and flawless. But when things are too smooth, it feels like something's missing...Real connection comes from imperfection. From that human touch. That's what makes work feel alive. 🤝

So I'll keep choosing the messy, real parts over spotless perfection! 🎨

There's a weird tension in creative work right now. On one hand, we have more tools than ever. AI, automation, data that can predict what people want before they even know it themselves 🤖. On the other, there's this ache for something real. Something that doesn't feel like it was assembled by a committee of machines.

I catch myself toggling between the two. Chasing efficiency, then craving a little chaos ⚡. Wanting to impress, then wanting to connect 🤝.

It's exhausting, honestly. But maybe that's the point. Maybe the future isn't about choosing sides, but learning to live in the middle. To let the tech do its thing, but not let it drown out the real, wonderful, unpredictable parts of being human 🌱.

Some days I get it right. Some days I don't. But I'm starting to think the struggle is where the good stuff lives ✨.

Curiosity is a strange thing. It's supposed to be this endless well, but some days it just dries up. I'll sit in a meeting, nodding along, and realize I haven't asked a real question in ther meeting. Not out loud, anyway. 

It's easy to get comfortable, to let the routine do the thinking for you. But then something small breaks the pattern...a weird headline, a new voice in the room, a project that doesn't fit the mold. 🌀

Suddenly, I'm awake again. The questions come back, and with them, the urge to poke at things, to see what's underneath. 🔍

I wish I could bottle that feeling. Or at least remember how to find it when the days get heavy. 🌧️

Maybe it's about giving yourself permission to not know. To admit you're lost, or bored, or just plain stuck. That's usually when the good stuff starts to surface.

Curiosity isn't a given. It's something you have to fight for, especially when everything around you is pushing for certainty. I forget that more often than I'd like to admit. ⚡

Sometimes I wonder if we're all just pretending to know what we're doing.🤔 I've been in office rooms where everyone nods along, but you can feel the uncertainty hanging in the air. Nobody wants to be the first to say, I don't get it. Or, this isn't working.

But the older I get, the more I respect the people who are willing to admit when they're lost. Or when they're scared. 🗣️

Uncertainty isn't a weakness. It's the starting point for something new. 🌱 I wish I'd learned that sooner. I spent years trying to look like I had it all together. Now, I'm more interested in what happens when we drop the act. 🎭

It's not comfortable. But it's real. And sometimes, that's enough.

Curiosity is a strange thing. It's supposed to be this endless well, but sometimes it just... dries up. 🤔

I used to think I was naturally curious, but lately I've realized it's something you have to feed. Not with big, dramatic gestures, but with small acts. Reading something outside your comfort zone 📚. Asking a question you're a little embarrassed to ask. Letting yourself be a beginner again.

It's uncomfortable. But it's also where the best ideas hide. 💡

I wish I could say I do this every day. Truth is, I fall into ruts like anyone else. But when I remember to nudge myself out of autopilot, even just a little, things start to shift. 🔄

Maybe that's all it takes. A little discomfort, a little wonder, and the willingness to not know for a while. 🌱

Does everything online looks "too perfect" and doesn’t feel real anymore? 🤔 AI is cranking out polished content every minute. Our feeds are packed with flawless graphics, clever headlines, and data-driven stories. 

But sometimes it feels like the spark is missing.

The best creative moments aren’t engineered. They come from late-night pushes, team brainstorms, things that are messy and risky and eccentric as hell. 🎨

Tech moves fast, but real storytelling still starts with a human. AI can remix and polish, but it can’t replace that raw, honest touch...the part where you don’t know if your idea will land or flop. ⚡

It’s tempting to chase perfection. But the work that sticks with people is usually the one that’s a little rough around the edges. The pitch that made you sweat. The sketch that wasn't perfect. The idea you almost gave up on. 📝

In a sea of synthetic content, embracing a little honest mess might be the boldest thing you can do. 🚀

🧙‍♂️📚 Happy J. R. R. Tolkien Day! 📚🧙‍♂️ From Middle-earth to Mount Doom, Tolkien showed us the power of imagination, friendship, and courage...and that even the smallest person can change the course of the future. 🌋✨
This evening is perfect day to revisit "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy on streaming for the next 9 hours before work on Monday...my precious!!! #TolkienDay #MiddleEarth #MyPrecious #Storytelling #LinkedInAfterDark

I've been thinking about the word authentic. It gets thrown around so much it almost stops meaning anything.

But then I see a piece of work that feels true...raw, a little unpolished, and it hits me. That's what I'm hungry for. Not the perfect story, but the one that feels like someone actually lived it. 🎬

It's hard to make space for that kind of honesty. There's always a voice in the back of my head telling me to clean it up, make it safer, more universal. But the stuff that sticks with me, the stuff I remember, never plays it safe. 🔥

I guess I'm still learning how to let the rough edges show. To trust that people can handle the mess, maybe even need it. 🤔 It's a risk, every time. But I'd rather take that risk than make something forgettable. 🎯 Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one who feels this way. Probably not... #BeTrue #Authenticity

Lately, I've been craving the old analog days. Letraset press type, Xerox machines, sketch pads, X-Acto blades... Not because I think AI tech is the enemy, far from it. 

I love what AI can do, the way it cracks open new possibilities 🤖. But there's something about the friction of making things by hand that I miss ✍️. The smudges, the crossed-out lines, the way you could see the work in the work.

Now, everything is so clean. So fast ⚡. You can generate a hundred options in seconds, but sometimes it feels like none of them really belong to you. Like the machine is doing the heavy lifting, and you're just curating the results.

I know that's not entirely fair. AI is a tool, not a replacement. But I worry about creators losing the fingerprints, the little imperfections that make something feel alive. Maybe that's nostalgia talking. Or maybe it's a reminder to slow down, to leave a little room for the mess. To let the process show.

I don't have a solution. Just a stubborn hope that we can keep the human in the loop, even as the tools get smarter. Maybe especially then ✨.

Technology is supposed to make things easier, but sometimes it just makes things...LOUDER. 🔊 There's so much noise out there. 

So many tools promising to streamline, optimize, automate. And yet, the work that sticks with me, the stuff that actually moves people...never feels like it came from a machine. It's rougher around the edges. Sometimes it's a little awkward. Sometimes it's a lot awkward. But it's always unmistakably human. 🤝

I think of AI as a collaborator, not a replacement. Like a really smart assistant who can fetch things, organize chaos, maybe even surprise you with a connection you hadn't seen. But it can't feel for you. It can't care. 

That's still our jobs. And honestly, I'm glad for that. Because if everything sounded the same, I'd probably stop listening. 

So here's to the weird, the imperfect, the stuff that doesn't quite fit. That's where the real stories live. 🌱✨ (At least, that's where I want to spend my time.)

Ever notice the best ideas show up when things get messy? 🎨 

Real stories, the kind people remember, rarely come from a flawless plan. They grow out of mistakes. Wrong turns. Half-ideas that nobody takes seriously at first. 💡 Some of my favorite work started as something awkward or unfinished. Sometimes the detour is the actual path.

Perfection is overrated. The details we can't control, the mess we try to avoid, that's what makes storytelling feel real and human. 🤝

Maybe we need to give ourselves (and our teams) more permission to let the process stay a little chaotic. 🔄 Because when you loosen your grip, that's when something interesting happens.

Your best ideas commonly show up when you're not even trying. 💡 You sit down, ready to be creative... and nothing. Blank page, empty head. 

But take a walk 🚶♂️ to Starbucks, watch some YouTube, play laser with my cats, and suddenly, BOOM, ideas everywhere...

I used to fight it, thought I was slacking off if I wasn't "being productive." Now I just let my mind wander and see what happens. Turns out, forcing creativity is the fastest way to kill it. ❌ 

So if you're stuck, don't stress. Go do something else for a while. Let your brain breathe!

🙏 Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. today: "Only in the darkness can you see the stars." , MLK 

Today is a reminder that even in challenging times, hope shines through people...through kindness, courage, and the belief that together we can build something better. 🤝 Here's to lifting each other up, choosing empathy, and continuing the work he championed. 💪❤️

I keep coming back to this idea of imperfection...as a kind of rebellion. ✨

Everything around us is getting smoother, faster, more optimized. The algorithms know what we want before we do. The polish is impressive, but sometimes it feels like it's sanding down all the interesting bits.

I find myself drawn to the things that don't quite fit. The awkward pauses, the offbeat choices, the moments that make you stop and wonder if it was a mistake or a stroke of genius. 🎭

Maybe it's just my way of pushing back against the tide. Or maybe it's a reminder that the best stories aren't always the most efficient ones.

I don't know. Some days I wish I could just embrace the polish and be done with it. But then I see something beautifully flawed and I remember why I started doing this in the first place. 🌱

Perfection is overrated. Give me the cracks, the quirks, the things that make you look twice. That's where the real magic lives. ✨

The truth? 

Every founder wants to quit when things get tough, but breakthroughs only happen when you push forward, not when you pause. 

If your journey feels impossible, it means you're solving a problem others are afraid to tackle. 

Success is built on the days you choose to persist, not the days that feel effortless. 

Building something real takes resilience. 

Most quit. 
Winners endure.

They are driven by a profound, personal issue that resonates deeply with them, prompting them to declare, "Enough is enough. I can't ignore this anymore." 

That's where true entrepreneurship begins, when frustration becomes motivation for real change. 

It's about turning critique—what's wrong, what's missing—into breakthrough solutions that matter. 

The real drive comes from a place of purpose, resilience, and relentless commitment to solve problems others overlook. 

It's not about chasing trends; it's about solving problems your future self or community can't ignore anymore. 

Your biggest breakthrough starts when you transform pain into a purpose that propels your ideas into reality.

It's pitching your idea even when you hear "no" a hundred times. 

It's navigating the uncertainty, making tough calls, and learning as you go. 

It's handling setbacks, doubting yourself, and still moving forward.

If today feels hard, remember that's part of the journey. 

Keep going. 

The real breakthrough comes from your consistency and grit.

A mobile phone isn't just a device; it's your connection to the world, your gateway to productivity, and your status. 

A coaching program isn't just about techniques; it's about transforming your mindset, boosting confidence, and feeling supported. 

Understanding this shifts your approach, shifting from selling features to telling stories that resonate on an emotional level. 

Focus on the outcomes, the experiences, and the emotions your offering ignites. 

That's what truly drives conversions and loyalty. 

Are you framing your value in terms of solutions, experiences, and feelings?

Wireless Engineer @ Huawei

Uber Has Officially Exited Tanzania. What Really Happened?

After nearly 10 years in Tanzania, Uber shut down its operations on January 30, 2026. No long press conference. No detailed explanation. Just a message to users saying “this chapter comes to an end.”

But chapters don’t end randomly.

Uber entered Tanzania in June 2016, launching in Dar es Salaam and introducing many of us to:

- App-based ride hailing
- Cashless payments
- Dynamic pricing

At the time, it felt revolutionary.

Fast forward to 2026, and the story looks very different.


🇹🇿 Tanzania Is Not an Easy Market

Uber didn’t just face competition.
It faced local reality.

In 2022, Uber suspended operations after new government regulations introduced:

- Fare caps
- Commission limits
- Stronger consumer protection

Uber returned in early 2023, but by then the market had changed.


🥊 Enter the Undisputed Champion: Bolt 

Let’s be honest  Uber didn’t lose to regulation alone.

It lost to Bolt.

In Tanzania, “request Bolt” is no longer a brand reference, it’s a household phrase for ride hailing. Bolt localized faster, priced smarter, and aligned better with both drivers and passengers.

Meanwhile, Uber struggled with:

- The unpopular TZS 3,000 ride cancellation fee
- Pricing that felt rigid to consumers
- A model that didn’t fully adapt to local cost dynamics

In a price-sensitive market, small frictions become big deal-breakers.


📉 A Bigger Lesson for Global Tech Companies

Uber’s exit sends a clear message:

"You don’t just launch in Tanzania. You adapt, localize, and negotiate your way into relevance."

Local competitors understand:

- How people earn
- How people pay
- How people complain
- How regulators think

And that knowledge compounds over time.

What This Means Going Forward

- Tanzania remains open for innovation, but not at any cost
- Regulation here is not anti-tech, it’s pro-balance
- Local and regional platforms are no longer “alternatives” they are default choices

Uber’s exit doesn’t mean ride hailing failed.
It means the market chose its winner.


💬 Was Uber doomed the moment Bolt became a verb in Tanzania?
Or could Uber have survived with deeper localization?

Let’s talk in the comments.

𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣? 

The idea of instant fame is a myth. 

Success is built on relentless persistence, hidden failures, and unseen sacrifices. 

What looks like a sudden breakthrough is often years of quiet grind. 

If you're waiting for the perfect moment, you'll never start. 

Start now, stay consistent, and trust the process. 

Because true success isn't a flash in the pan; it's a long-term game. 

Don't be fooled into thinking shortcuts exist. The real secret? Keep showing up when no one's watching. Build your legacy brick by brick. The world rewards the patient.

Most entrepreneurs chase big ideas without truly understanding their customers' pain points. 

They believe innovation is about creating something new, but real innovation is about solving real problems. 

A visionary often overlooks the importance of actual customer validation. 

You can have a brilliant idea, but if it doesn't resonate with your audience, it's just noise. 

Customer focus isn't a step; it's the foundation of sustainable growth. 

Don't fall into the trap of building in isolation. 
Align your vision with genuine customer needs. 

That's how you build products that last, products that matter. 

Challenge yourself: are you crafting solutions for customers or with customers? 

The choice will determine whether you scale or plateau. 

Start listening, start iterating. 

Your customers hold the key to your future success. 

Are you willing to put their needs above your ego? Think about it.

Your customers shouldn't feel like they're being sold to. 

They should feel heard.

Most founders drown out customer voices because they're obsessed with closing deals, not opening relationships. 

Here's the real play: let your customers talk more than you. Let their frustrations educate your solutions. 

Most of your "sales techniques" are just ego in disguise. The best sales process doesn't feel like selling at all; it feels like trust-building. Stop pushing. Start listening.
