Building and refining my own personal brand within the digital space for over 17 years. Art, music, culture and digital are built into my DNA. My passions have guided me towards a very unique and rewarding career. I've held active roles in many areas of digital including web design, product management, UX, search marketing, optimization, management and leadership.
