I use websites and digital marketing to tell the brand stories of companies with future-friendly values: improving social well-being, environmental sustainability and education. Example client businesses have included plant-based foods, science novelty products, clinical counseling and job placement.
I founded my digital consulting agency after leaving a career in product design engineering at Procter & Gamble, earning an MBA from Chicago Booth and co-founding an enterprise SaaS startup in Chicago. I have partnered with agencies, business owners and startups to create digital commerce platforms and campaigns.
I think of myself as an "MBA who can code": equally interested in technology solutions and business results. More than just a developer, I help clients find ways to serve customers more efficiently and fund growth from revenue. While the cost of technology continuously falls, the choices proliferate and confuse. I help clients clarify strategy and uncover, navigate and execute solutions.
I have been invited to create speaking and training events on web and digital marketing topics to various Chicago forums, including:
• State Farm Next Door Chicago
• Freelancers Union Spark Chicago
• WordPress Meetup Group of Chicago
