Focus: Brand Strategy Consulting

Let’s have lunch! I want to be your audience of one as you share all your big dreams of social good and impact.

I want to listen to your ideas for scaling your fashion, food or beverage life-transforming social enterprise brand. I’ll reach into my rich entrepreneurial experiences to imagine how you can achieve a sustainable success that stems from a brand strategy. A strategy that’ll put you first in the minds of the customers, community members and impact investors to whom your brand will be irresistible.

This is the good stuff. Let’s eat!

We are driven by our values and beliefs.

Love People.

Loving one another without limits was the greatest command ever given. So we’ll always put people before product and remember we’re in the business of transforming lives.

Be Generous.

We actively develop habits of generosity and practice offering others the last of our best whenever possible. For us, it isn’t about giving back. It’s about being generous—frequently giving to those whom we owe nothing.

Design Everything.

We believe design is about leveraging understanding to achieve some purpose. It’s a philosophy that keeps us intentional, shaping everything from an ad to a logo to a workshop.

Much can be accomplished with trust and time.

Hope, made visible, changes a person’s entire world.

Impressions are fleeting. Impact requires investment.
