Proximity can blind you.

You started the company, built the product, and carry the vision, but that doesn’t automatically make you objective.

You’re too close to the work.

You're emotionally invested and AI mirrors your blindspots. Your team and vendors are too narrow in their thinking to tell you what you actually need to hear. You need perspective to breakthrough.

Asking hard strategic questions isn’t easy to do when it's your baby.

I’ll pressure test your vision so you can move with conviction.

Two decades in media, brand, and culture. Experience as an executive, founder, and working creative produces a level of strategic intelligence that can’t be replicated by an LLM, providing pattern recognition to push your vision and execution to a new level of clarity and confidence.
