01Introduction

Building a career where consumer psychology meets business growth.

Driven by curiosity and a bias for action, I build things that connect people to what they need — treating every project as a test kitchen to experiment, learn, and grow.

Marketing and psychology are my lens; people are the through-line. Whether it's a client, a fund, or a classroom, the goal's the same: understand what drives someone, and help them get there.
