What I Do
Communications & Experience Design
I partner with senior leaders and cross-functional teams to shape how organizations communicate and how people experience them — especially during moments of growth, transition, and transformation. With 15+ years across luxury, consumer, and mission-driven environments, I design communications and experiences that align vision with perception.
Speaking & Facilitation
I bring strategic insight and real-world storytelling to every stage, workshop, and panel I join. My signature talks explore how trust is built, how soft power works, and how leaders and organizations can design how they're experienced.
Ivywood
I'm the founder of Ivywood Group, an image architecture firm for women executives and leaders. Ivywood helps women design their image, narrative, and presence with intention — so that how they're experienced matches the authority they've already earned.
