Every brand has a unique story, audience, and positioning, and my job is to bring that to life in a way that is both visually compelling and built to perform. I work with brands ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies, bringing together design psychology, platform strategy, and audience insight to create content that does not just look good, it grows and converts. With a Bachelor's degree in Visual Communications and years of hands-on experience, I combine aesthetics with strategy so that every piece of content serves a purpose. I also run a personal branding program for founders and individuals who are ready to stop blending in. My North Star Personal Branding Program is built to uncover what makes you genuinely magnetic, position it with precision, and turn it into a presence that works. Every client who has gone through it has come out the other side with a brand that finally feels like them - and performs like it means it. I specialize in: - Social media strategy and account management - Personal branding program and identity development - Branding, identity, and custom visual design - Short-form video and viral content creation - Campaign execution and email marketing - Content across Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Facebook, and Pinterest - Design using Canva, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and the latest AI tools I have also developed a technique that blends real-world storytelling with high-quality AI to create immersive, premium content tailored to your specific audience and goals. Whether you are building from zero or ready to accelerate an established presence, I bring the strategy, the design, and the execution to make it happen.

DTC Creative Strategist + Copywriter | Performance Marketer

Tampa, Florida
$100 per hour

Creative fatigue doesn't send a warning. 👎 It just shows up as higher costs & lower revenue. I help e-commerce brands spending $50k+ a month on ads outrun that fatigue with sharper ad strategy and fresh scripts. Brands running real paid ad spend watch performance decay on a predictable cycle: the same creative gets shown to the same audience until frequency climbs, CTR drops, and CPR creeps up. The real problem? Ad fatigue isn't really about numbers or tracking tools, even though it looks that way. It's about not having enough new ads ready to go. The brands that beat ad fatigue aren't the ones with fancier dashboards. They're the ones producing new creative faster than their audience gets tired of it. What's missing isn't someone who's great at buying ads. It's a dedicated creative strategist + DTC copywriter producing the volume and quality of creative needed to stay ahead of fatigue in the first place. This is where I come in. ✅ DM me.
