I’m a strategic communications consultant and writer with more than seven years of experience helping clients get seen, heard, and trusted in competitive spaces. I specialize in media relations, earned PR, ghostwriting, content strategy, and turning ideas into clear, compelling stories that actually move people, whether that’s landing placements, growing audiences, or building credibility. What I deliver for clients: I build and run earned media strategies – researching outlets, creating targeted press lists, crafting strong pitches, and securing coverage in print, digital, broadcast, and podcasts. I ghostwrite professionally in your voice – op-eds, commentary, scripts, newsletters, press releases, social posts, and executive thought leadership pieces. I create and refine content that grows reach – from scaling YouTube channels (one went from roughly 180,000 to over 540,000 subscribers through smart story selection and narrative positioning) to lifting email open rates (+22%) and donor contributions (+13%) for targeted campaigns and executive outreach. I handle original reporting and analysis – breaking down complex topics (policy, governance, local impact) into accessible, persuasive writing that drives conversation and results. I’ve produced investigative work that built a local news outlet’s reputation and led to real change, like exposing a faulty speed-camera program that was suspended after sustained coverage. I’ve run podcast-style interview series – pitching guests, preparing questions, and adapting live to keep discussions sharp and substantive. Clients come to me when they need someone who can spot the right story fast, package it effectively, build media relationships that last, and deliver polished work under real deadlines. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and focused on outcomes, whether you’re a leader looking to amplify your message, an organization pushing an initiative, or a brand needing consistent voice and visibility. Top Rated Plus freelancer with consistent 100% Job Success. Fluent in Romanian; intermediate French and Russian. Open to retainers, long-term partnerships, or one-off projects. Message me if you’d like to talk about what you’re trying to achieve. I’d love to hear more and see how I can help!

WARNING: Past performance is not indicative of future results. I cannot guarantee media coverage of your business, organization, or cause. With that said, I’ve arranged media coverage of Taylor Swift’s casket (google it for more info); a restaurant’s $615,000 lawsuit against New York City (also easily found on google); and a barber who moonlights as a salami maker (yep, also on google). Since 2020, I’ve arranged over 200 earned media placements in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe (including two front page stories), the New York Post, CNBC, The Wall Street Journal, INSIDER, CNN, MSNBC, New York Magazine, Slate, A/V Club, NBC Nightly News, Fast Company, and dozens of other top-tier publications and outlets. DM me to have a 15 minute conversation about getting PR for your business - or better yet book a 30 minute consultation!

➤ 𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧 𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗦 𝗗𝗢𝗡'𝗧 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗟 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧𝗦. 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗬 𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗟 𝗕𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗙. When your packaging signals quality, scarcity, and story, your product moves from “purchase” to “possession.” It becomes something people desire to hold onto. That’s when customers pay more, share more, and remember you. I design luxury packaging systems for beauty, fashion, and high-end consumer brands that don’t just protect your product, they elevate it into an object of desire. 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗦 𝗛𝗜𝗥𝗘 𝗠𝗘 You’ve invested heavily in your formula, product, or materials, but your packaging feels generic and fails to communicate the value. You’re preparing for retail (Sephora, Selfridges, Net-a-Porter, Whole Foods, etc.) and know your packaging needs to meet elevated standards. You want unboxing to double as marketing. Packaging that makes customers post, share, and rave. You want consistency across packaging, decks, mailers, and investor collateral. A brand story that feels inevitable. That's exactly what I deliver. 𝗠𝗬 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗔𝗖𝗛 ➤ Story First Packaging is brand storytelling in three dimensions. I translate your identity into tactile cues that make customers feel your value before they’ve even tried the product. ➤ Material Fluency From embossing, foiling, and textured papers to magnetic closures, inserts, and soft-touch finishes. I know how to use materials and finishes to trigger the “luxury reflex.” ➤ Systems Thinking I create modular packaging systems that scale with your product line, save costs in production, and feel cohesive across SKUs. ➤ Detail Obsession Every crease, font, and swatch matters. A 1-millimeter shift can mean the difference between “premium” and “cheap.” 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗚𝗘𝗧 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗠𝗘 • Packaging design that elevates your brand into the luxury tier • Structural solutions (closures, inserts, dielines) engineered for both impact and efficiency • Material and finish recommendations that maximize perceived value without unnecessary spend • Investor- and retailer-ready brand presence: packaging that convinces buyers, stockists, and press your brand belongs on the top shelf • Optional add-ons: unboxing kits, influencer mailers, POP displays, retail guidelines, and collateral to unify your story across every touchpoint 𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗨𝗟𝗧𝗦 & 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗘 Designed modular packaging systems for Tom Ford Beauty and Estée Lauder, global brands where exclusivity, craftsmanship, and detail were non-negotiable. Created event kits and influencer mailers that turned unboxing into shareable, earned media moments. Partnered with emerging consumer brands to move from “startup look” to “luxury-ready,” helping them secure retail placement and investor confidence. Worked across beauty, fashion, climate-tech consumer goods, and high-end lifestyle products. ➤ 𝘾𝙡𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙩𝙨 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 “𝙩𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙫𝙚” 𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮’𝙫𝙚 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙩 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚. 𝗪𝗛𝗢 𝗜 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 Beauty and fragrance brands ready to launch or elevate packaging Fashion and lifestyle startups looking to compete with legacy luxury houses Consumer goods companies moving from scrappy prototypes to retail shelves Founders raising capital who want packaging that signals inevitability to investors and retailers alike 𝗞𝗘𝗬𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗗𝗦 & 𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗦 Luxury packaging design | Beauty packaging | Fashion packaging | High-end consumer goods | Structural packaging | Packaging systems | Unboxing design | Packaging mockups | Dielines | Packaging materials | Embossing | Foiling | Soft-touch finishes | Investor-ready packaging | Retail packaging | Packaging guidelines | Influencer mailers | Event kits | POP displays 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛 𝗠𝗘 𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗔𝗗 𝗢𝗙 𝗔 𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗧 Most designers can make something look nice. Few can design packaging that feels like luxury, holds up in production, and tells a story investors and customers believe. I combine: Luxury brand experience (Tom Ford Beauty, Estée Lauder) Narrative fluency (translating brand essence into tactile design) Production know-how (working with printers, dielines, and manufacturing teams) So you don't just get a pretty box, you get a packaging system that wins over customers, buyers, and investors. ➤ 𝙄𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙩 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙤𝙧𝙚, 𝙡𝙚𝙩’𝙨 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙠.
