about me

I bring a mix of strategic thinking, creative leadership, and journalistic clarity to unify your brand’s voice across content, campaigns, and internal culture.

Whether it’s shaping investor narrative, building inclusive visual systems, or leading story development in conflict zones, I always come back to one question: how do we make people feel something—and act on it?

If your story matters and clarity is critical, I’d love to help tell it.

Creative Direction
& Content

From Silicon Valley to the UN, I’ve led emotionally intelligent, visually distinctive work across campaigns, onboarding, and digital experiences—blending clarity, empathy, and business relevance.

Brand
& Narrative Leadership

I help brands find their voice and sharpen their edge—especially during key moments like launch, fundraising, or repositioning. At Performica, I led the strategy that helped secure $3M in funding by aligning our message with both HR and finance leaders.

Storytelling
Across Media

Rooted in photojournalism and clients ranging from Microsoft to MSF, I bring narrative depth and authenticity to everything I touch. My award-winning book Inshallah is held in major museum collections and shapes how I tell complex, human-centered stories.
