I left the U.S. in my twenties and spent years living between places that changed how I saw things.
Florence, Italy, taught me slowness, beauty, and emotional texture. Sydney, Australia, taught me freedom, reinvention, and distance from the version of myself I had outgrown.
Those years shaped the way I think about business now. Not just as systems or growth strategies, but as environments people move through emotionally.
A lot of my work today still comes back to the same questions. How do we build lives that actually feel like our own. What makes a business memorable. Why certain places, brands, and experiences stay with us.
The businesses that interest me most are reflections of the people behind them.
Founder-led and experience-driven. Boutique hospitality, lifestyle brands, retreats and destination venues, creative practices, travel and wellness. The kind of business where the founder is still the work.
The lens is operations, strategy, and brand at the intersection. Not as three disciplines but as the same conversation, viewed from three sides.
