VP LEVEL CONSULTANT TO CEO'S • TREND SPECIALIST • BRAND STRATEGIST • CREATIVE DIRECTOR • DESIGNER & STYLIST
I'm confident I would be an excellent candidate. I have the global expertise, innate curiosity and unstoppable desire to be on top of all emerging trends and cultural shifts.
PHYSICAL & DIGITAL
Based on my unerring passion for fashion, travel and culture, I am constantly tapped into the realms of the physical and the digital. I thrive in the cross section of creativity and commerce, tracking trends in brand imagery, product drops and marketing messaging through e-comm and social. I stay abreast of creative direction, of styling, of marketing tactics & ever-evolving messaging shifts. I travel globally to ensure I see store floor-sets, eye-catching windows, fun pop-ups, collaborations, furniture trade shows, dinner events, art fairs and museum exhibits.
What I can’t see IRL, I track on social, through Substacks or via Podcasts. Access is everywhere.
AESTHETICS X STRATEGY
With my expertise within this industry, working with design, merchandising and marketing teams, I understand the need for high aesthetics, as much as clear strategy and a strong message to optimize trend insights. Encouraging evolution, conducted through the specific brand lens, studying the potential opportunity and over-arching business priorities at an appropriate pace, is always critical.
CULTURAL RELEVANCE
When advising CEOs and founders, whether re-invigorating legacy brands, or pitching new brands as start-ups, I keep focussed on diligent research on the surrounding culture and competition. The best commercial strategies and succinct solutions come from understanding the true range of customers - whether loyalist or aspirational - and addressing what is relevant for each personality stream - building experiences and culturally relevant content targeted to each of them. Connecting the threads of the diverse community requires a breadth of tactics.
