DIGITAL STRATEGY.
As the founder of Radar Research, I work as a strategic consultant on a variety of projects. Recent projects include developing a comprehensive guide to conversational commerce, a strategic assessment of non-linear revenue opportunities, brand architecture for a major healthcare provider, and a deep dive into the evolving content distribution landscape.  Having worked at agencies such as Huge and media companies such as Disney, I develop compelling strategic visions for a diverse range of clients.  
NON-PROFIT.
As a co-founder of LA-based non-profit design east of La Brea (de LaB), I organize monthly events on the east side of Los Angeles that celebrate and support local creatives. Our goal is to create a civic-minded community invested in the future of LA.
