Demand Generation
Messaging & Brand Positioning
I’ve raised $17M across capital channels, built a $100M MQL pipeline, and directed 6- and 7-figure budgets.
I’ve also partnered with 50+ founders, owners, and portfolio leaders to drive growth across technology, energy, healthcare, construction, food & beverage, entertainment, SaaS, nonprofit, and more.
Today, I help sharpen capital readiness, clarify brand positioning, and drive go-to-market execution. I also make select capital introductions– when aligned and compliant– and I’m pursuing Series 82 sponsorship to expand the value I offer across capital networks.
If you’re a founder, investor, or portfolio company at a critical inflection point—let’s talk.

Thesis
I work with people who know who they are.
They build from conviction, not to prove something, but because they can’t not build it. They care deeply about what they're solving, and for whom.
They’ve put in the reps. They have traction, not just ambition. They’ve fallen, gotten back up, and kept on going.
They don’t chase returns disconnected from human flourishing. They don’t bolt on integrity or values– they build with them.

Offerings
FUNDRAISING : Since 2011, I’ve helped raise over $17M through crowdfunding, donor campaigns, and early-stage capital. I support fundraising through strategy, storytelling, and investor- or donor-facing materials that convert clarity into commitment.
GTM STRATEGY : I develop go-to-market strategies that connect with the right audience through clarity and traction. From launch plans to positioning frameworks, I help teams go to market—and grow—with confidence.
CAPITAL READINESS : I help founders prepare for investor conversations by refining pitch decks, narrative strategy, and financial framing. I also make select introductions to capital partners when aligned, in accordance with regulatory guidelines.
DEMAND GENERATION : I design and execute marketing systems that drive qualified leads, boost engagement, and build pipeline. From outbound campaigns to content strategy, I focus on results that translate to revenue.
BRAND STRATEGY : I help founders and teams get clear on who they are—so they can show up in the market with authenticity and authority. This includes brand strategy, tone of voice, and visual alignment to ensure clarity, credibility, and consistency.
CLARITY OF MESSAGE : I develop messaging frameworks and copy that bring clarity and alignment across teams and audiences. Whether you’re pitching, selling, or scaling, I help make your value unmistakably clear—inside and out.
WORKSHOPS : Uncover insight and alignment through a focused, strategic review of your messaging, market, and offerings. These sessions help you gain clarity, sharpen your message, and unify your leadership around what matters most.
Fundraising Pedigree
In 2011, I launched a viral Indiegogo campaign that drew national press—NBC, CBS, ESPN, FOX, CNN, and more. Indiegogo reached out, then recruited me as one of their first six team members to help other creators replicate the success.
I consistently identified breakout campaigns, built KPI frameworks still in use, and advised top performers on messaging, traction, and PR. I also represented the brand at SXSW and industry events.
That experience shaped how I evaluate early-stage traction—spotting signal before metrics form and aligning narrative with capital strategy. It's the same lens I now use to help startups raise, grow, and scale. Since then, I’ve led six- and seven-figure campaigns and raised over $17M across capital channels.
Marketing + Creative
Since 2002, I’ve led hundreds of campaigns across brand, video, digital, print, advertising, and live events.
Strategic Partnerships
Over 20 years of strategic collaborations, media coverage, and sponsorships with some of the world’s best brands.
History
I started out in 2002 as a multidisciplinary artist, traveling the world for commissioned projects across screen, page, and stage. Since then, my creative work has reached over 100 million viewers worldwide. I directed an indie feature film, shot 20 music videos—including a six-week #1—and earned “Official Selections” at more than a dozen film festivals.
I’ve spoken at TEDx and CreativeMornings, performed stand-up at the Improv, and collaborated with award-winning, chart-topping artists. I was a commissioned photographer for leading music magazines, and my fine art meme show premiered in New York.
