Some of our purpose-driven clients

B Corp & B Local CO — marketing and business as a force for good

I’m a Board Member with B Local CO, the Programs Lead for B Lab’s B Proud Network, and an active participant in B Corporation and nonprofit communities, with a passion for renewable & future energy, regenerative agriculture, land and food systems, corporate social responsibility, business as a force for good, and using my marketing expertise to make the world a better, healthier, more equitable place.

Audience and data-driven marketing for purpose brands

I was previously the Marketing Director at Kidrobot, a global brand of collectible contemporary art toys and licensed pop culture merchandise. Before that, I was the Director of Marketing at 1908 Brands, a parent company of natural, sustainable consumer packaged goods brands. My career began in marketing and graphic design at Alfalfa's Market, Boulder, CO’s only local and independent natural products grocer.

Outdoorsy nerd and serial hobbyist

I hike or backpack any chance I get, relax with video games, and start more books than I can possibly finish. I thru-hiked (most of) the Colorado Trail in 2022, I love repetitive lists, I am an OG comic book nerd, I collect art, I watch a completely normal amount of television, I am an amateur birder, and I frequently get lost in Spotify wormholes (or cycling around Denver).

When I’m not doing any of the above, you can find me exploring Colorado with my mutt (Margot, unemployed) and partner (Ben, Valmont Industries).
