I’ve spent 20 years shaping creative work that moves people and guiding teams toward clarity, authenticity, and strategic storytelling.

As cofounder of JOJO Creative Consulting, I help founders, teams, and organizations bring cohesion, clarity, and creative spark to how they show up in the world. Whether you’re raising funding, evolving your brand, or rethinking your website, I bring a creative, strategic lens that helps you express what matters – in a way your audience can feel.

Over the years, I’ve worked across industries – from healthcare and higher ed to the arts, consumer brands, and bioscience startups. The common thread? A need for smart, human-centered creative that actually works. I’ve seen firsthand how often creative thinking gets sidelined, treated as an add-on rather than a driver of strategy. That’s why my approach puts creative thinking where it belongs: at the center of strategic decisions, not as polish at the end. Because when it’s built into the process, the outcomes are sharper, smarter, and more effective.

I also partner with agencies and internal teams who need a fresh lens or a second brain on high-stakes projects. Whether you’re stuck, spinning, or staring down a blank page, I’m here to help you move through it with clarity and purpose.

I believe creative thinking is a business superpower, and I’m here to help my clients use it wisely.​
