I'm no Leonardo.

No, not the ninja turtle.
And not DiCaprio.
I'm talking about DaVinci.

But like him, I see the world as one big web of connected ideas.

I've spent the last decade helping tech founders and brands tell stories that make complex ideas feel simple. Whether I'm writing for a supply-chain SaaS company or ghostwriting for a startup founder, my goal is always the same: to make people care.

At Longbow Advantage, I serve as lead storyteller and content strategist, turning technical concepts into narratives that build trust and drive results. I've helped grow engagement by 50%, lift email CTR, and shape a consistent voice across campaigns, leadership content, and customer stories.

Before tech, I led creative and communications teams in the nonprofit world, producing live and digital experiences that connected people through story, music, and media. Those years taught me how to lead with empathy, think under pressure, and find meaning in the details.

I'm endlessly curious.
I love the Oxford comma.
And I still believe that creativity isn't just about making things, it's about seeing unique connections.
