Shaping and Sharing Stories

I’m a communications consultant who partners with pioneering startups, brands, and artists pushing the world to be a more innovative, sustainable, and colorful place.

Services

Strategic Communications

I’ll assess your communications efforts, pinpointing strengths, identifying areas for improvement, and providing recommendations to realign your strategy with your goals. We’ll workshop messaging, brainstorm story ideas, promote new products, partnerships, and milestones, and elevate your work.

Media Training and PR

Through personalized media training, I’ll equip you with the skills you need to feel confident and well-prepared for interviews, press conferences, panels, and presentations. I also field media requests, pitch outlets, liaise with journalists and provide pre-interview coaching, all aimed at securing positive media coverage.

Writing and Content Strategy

I write and edit all kinds of content to help you connect with whoever you need to reach. Everything from new product announcements, website copy, and presentations, to case studies, annual reports, talking points, and more.

Change Communications

I help facilitate smooth transitions during periods of flux, whether it involves restructuring, acquisitions, executive leadership changes, or big strategic shifts. I’ll help you make your message clear, consistent, and effectively delivered in service of understanding, alignment, and steadying your team through change.

Thought Leadership

I help organizations to monitor and manage their reputation by spotlighting positive narratives, fighting misinformation, and aligning public perception with the truth of who they are. We'll raise your profile and enhance your standing through well-crafted content, speaking engagements and earned media.

Crisis Leadership

I help clients to assess potential risks, and formulate crisis plans designed to address complex and challenging issues. If something goes sideways, you’ll be ready to navigate the situation confidently and safeguard your rep.

Clients — Past + Present

My story

I work with startups, artists, and brands to shape how they show up in the world. For 20 years, I’ve helped launch platforms, elevate big ideas, and guide organizations through growth, visibility, and change. I’m passionate about innovation, creative expression, and protecting public lands, and I collaborate with people who share these values.

I was the first head of communications for Kickstarter, the funding platform for creative projects, where I worked from its launch in 2009 through 2018. Prior to that I was Vice President at a PR shop in New York where I led communications campaigns for clients such as: GOOD Worldwide, Public Education Needs Civic Involvement in Learning (PENCIL), Abyssinian Development Corporation, Amazon Watch, The Fortune Society, Wikimedia Foundation, National Voting Rights Institute (NVRI), AOL, and many others.

Earlier in my career, I taught math and science to sixth graders as a New York City Teaching Fellow.

I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Semiotics from NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study, and a Master’s degree in Childhood Education from Hunter College at the City University of New York.
