Profile

Creative technologist with 15+ years across brand, content, communications strategy, and digital production.

I connect creative thinking with technical problem solving, and I build the tools behind the work: the templates, reporting systems, and automation that help teams move faster and stay consistent. Today I do it as founder of Ectonomic, a creative technology studio, designing and building software products.
