I have extensive experience collaborating directly with paid media managers to design high-performing ad creatives for their campaigns. I’ve partnered with 50+ companies, designing thousands of data-driven creatives and generating over $5 million in revenue. My hands-on work across platforms like Google Ads and Meta Ads allows me to use real performance data to guide the creative process, while ongoing A/B testing helps me iterate, refine, and continuously improve my designs for dozens of brands. My core focus is creating ads that connect with the ideal customer profile and amplify campaign performance. With 5+ years of experience helping businesses grow through high-performing ads and visual campaigns, I specialize in designing creative assets for Meta, Google, and social media ads, crafting visuals that not only look great but also drive measurable results. Here are a few examples of how my ad creatives have transformed businesses: - LawnValue: Twice-weekly SEO-optimized posts combined with a new review request system boosted their Google My Business ranking and Local Service Ads, enabling expansion into Florida in Nov. 2023. - South River Mortgage: Our Google Ads campaigns generate 20–30 qualified leads daily, outperforming direct mail by converting 7–8x more leads at 5x lower cost per customer. - ReferPro: Over 6 months, inbound leads and overall business growth doubled, creating a repeatable system where Meta generates demand and Google captures it. - AMS: Within a few months, campaigns not only kept their 3rd branch profitable but increased ad spend by 50%, accelerating growth toward opening a 4th branch. - Axle Solutions: Achieved top Google rankings and #1 ad impression share in their 3-state area, competing successfully against national chains. - Landmark: Over 2 years, high ROI campaigns provided revenue to open a new franchise in Atlanta, GA in early 2024.

Most growth-stage brands suffer from a "Strategy-Execution Gap"—the space where a world-class vision meets fractured infrastructure. You have the spark and the goals, but you lack the integrated systems to scale without chaos. I bridge this gap as a Fractional Creative Strategist and founder of Salt & Wyld, a Strategic Creative Studio. I don't just "manage tasks"—I architect the digital ecosystems that turn founder intuition into measurable momentum. I operate at the intersection of Aesthetics + Architecture: - The Soul (Creative Direction): I act as the guardian of your brand's visual integrity and narrative, ensuring your brand looks as big as your vision feels. - The Architecture (Operational Rigor): I build the Fortune 500-level systems—from website ecosystems to editorial content waterfalls—that protect your time and your spark. The Result: Signal Over Noise In a shifting digital landscape, I prioritize high-intent growth over vanity metrics. By implementing forensic content systems, I have helped high-end brands (including luxury home product designers) double their engagement while decreasing content production volume by nearly 40%. I am a strategic peer for visionary founders in the Home, High-End Design, and Lifestyle sectors. If you are currently the bottleneck in your own business, I provide the steady hand and operational container to help you lead with clarity. Marketing is an ecosystem, not a series of isolated tasks. If your infrastructure doesn't touch every point of the client journey, your growth will always be temporary.
