MY STORY
I have always seen things a little differently.
THE BEGINNING
Creativity has always been part of who I am.
From as early as I can remember, I've seen things in a uniquely creative way. When I graduated from high school, I thought I wanted to become an architect. Instead, I chose a communications degree with a minor in art - and found a career that allowed me to combine creativity, strategy and storytelling.
My first job out of college gave me the opportunity to create across almost every marketing channel - print, television, radio and in-store advertising. From there, my career grow across different industries, giving me experience in branding, marketing, design, and communications.
Each experience taught me something new and shaped the way I see brands today.
BOTH SIDES OF THE TABLE
Experience changes the way you listen.
Over the years, I’ve worked with large corporations, small and mid-size businesses, and startups. My experience has been broad, but it has also given me something even more valuable—I’ve had the opportunity to sit on both sides of the table.
I’ve been the client. And I’ve been the creative partner.
I know what it feels like to explain a vision and hope someone truly understands it. And I know what it takes to listen closely, ask the right questions and turn that vision into something meaningful.
That experience comes with me into every conversation I have today. I understand the business side and the creative side—and perhaps most importantly, I understand the space between the two.
That’s where The Chatagy begins.
THEN CAME THE CHATAGY
Chat + Strategy.
In 2017, I decided to create something of my own.
I wanted a studio where I could bring together everything I'd learned throughout my career, but work in a more personal way with the people behind the businesses.
That's where the name came from - Chat + Strategy.
Because before the logo, the website, the campaign or the first design ever takes shape, we have to talk. I want to understand you business, your story, where you've been and where you want to go.
That's where the best ideas begin.
TODAY
A more personal way to create.
The Chatagy is intentionally a boutique creative studio. You work directly with me - from our first conversation through the creative process. It gives me the opportunity to become immersed in your business, understand what makes it different and bring all the pieces together into something that feels genuinely yours.
After all these years, I'm still excited to go to work every day. I get to take everything I've learned and that slightly unusual way I've always had of seeing things, and help business owners bring their unique vision to life.
