THE OFFICE

Brand strategy, creative direction, product design, and advisory for founders and brands.

I've spent over a decade building a brand — not just the visual identity, but the strategy, operations, and creative vision that make it hold together. I founded and scaled MINNA into a nationally recognized home goods brand with deep artisan partnerships across Latin America, and I bring that same full-picture thinking to every project I take on.

The Office is where that work lives now.

Product Design & Development

Design and development for physical goods, from concept through production.

I've designed and developed home textiles, soft goods, and lifestyle products for over a decade, managing the full arc of production. I also bring deep experience in ethical supply chain development, including sourcing and vetting manufacturers, building artisan partnerships, and navigating the operational realities of producing responsibly, particularly in Latin America. Available for contract and freelance product design work.

This includes:

  • Product concept and design

  • Surface pattern and textile design

  • Colorway and palette development

  • Sourcing and vendor identification

  • Manufacturer and artisan partnership development

  • Supply chain setup and management

  • Production planning and communication

  • Line planning and merchandising

  • Category strategy and expansion

  • Pricing and margin strategy

Creative Direction

Leading the creative vision for brands, campaigns, and product launches.

I've directed brand creative across every channel: editorial and product photography, digital and print campaigns, social content strategy, retail environments, and launch moments. My approach to creative direction is always grounded in brand strategy: who you are, who you're talking to, and what you're trying to accomplish.

This includes:

  • Brand creative strategy and campaign concepting

  • Photo and video art direction and styling

  • Marketing campaign planning

  • Retail design and strategy

  • E-commerce creative direction

  • Customer journey and site experience

  • Lookbooks and catalogs

  • Creative team leadership

Brand & Identity

Positioning, visual identity, voice, and brand guidelines.

The foundational work that everything else builds on. Whether you're launching a new brand, evolving an existing one, or need a complete rebrand, I work with founders to define who they are and how that shows up across every touchpoint.

This includes:

  • Brand strategy and positioning

  • Logo and visual identity systems

  • Brand voice and messaging

  • Brand guidelines

  • Packaging design and direction

  • Creative concepting

Advisory & Fractional Leadership

Ongoing strategic partnership for founders navigating growth, transition, or complexity.

I advise on everything from financial planning and operations to supply chain, team structure, creative direction, line development, and go-to-market strategy. I have particularly deep experience helping brands build ethical supply chains, develop artisan and manufacturing partnerships, and scale without losing what makes them worth scaling.

This includes:

  • Fractional creative or brand leadership

  • P&L development and forecasting

  • Pricing and sales channel strategy

  • Supply chain and manufacturing strategy

  • Ethical sourcing and artisan partnerships

  • Operational strategy and workflow design

  • Team structure and organizational planning

  • Merchandising strategy and assortment planning

  • Go-to-market strategy

Ways To Work Together

Advisory Consulting

Start with a single strategy session to talk through a specific challenge, or begin with a structured three-session kickoff designed to get clear on where you are, where you're headed, and what you need. From there, many clients move into ongoing hourly consulting

Project
Based

A defined scope with clear deliverables. Brand development, a visual identity system, product design, campaign direction, or a strategic plan. Most branding, creative direction, and product design work falls here.

Ongoing Partnerships

Retained advisory or fractional leadership on a monthly basis. For founders and brands that need a consistent creative and strategic partner without a full-time hire.
