Building Instruments. Not Ornaments

The strategist who questions the obvious.

The designer who sees beyond aesthetics.

The independent partner who’ll call out your blind spots.

This is important in my opinion, because building a brand worth having means thinking three steps ahead.

After years of navigating everything from dairy farm automation and innovation strategies in China to global markets, I've learned that the smartest strategy isn't always the most complicated one.

Sometimes it's the one that embraces complexity without losing sight of what really matters: authenticity and anticipation.

I've spent enough time in both the boardrooms and well as the actual work floor (yes this is where true overlooked insight lies) to know that the best brands aren't just a complex mix of hype and gut feeling.

They thrive when you combine strategic alignment with cultural nuance and throw in a healthy dose of skepticism about what "everyone knows." Because let's be honest, everyone's wrong about something, and it's usually the thing they're most certain about.

My approach? I treat every brand like a puzzle with missing pieces. Then I go find the ones no one else thought to look for, all while keeping one foot firmly planted in reality and the other in possibility. It's messier than it sounds, but that's where the good stuff happens.

I'm not here to sell you a shiny logo or feed you buzzwords about "brand synergy." I'm here to help you build something that survives boardroom battles, cultural clashes, and the inevitable chaos that comes with growth. Because at the end of the day, a brand isn't just a pretty face, it's a living ecosystem that needs to work and evolve as hard as you do.

Question Everything

I don’t just accept the brief or the industry “truths”, I interrogate them. Every project starts with a healthy dose of skepticism and a relentless curiosity to find the angle others miss.


If you’re tired of generic solutions and want a partner who’ll challenge your thinking (and theirs), you’ll get strategies built for real differentiation, not just decoration.

Embrace the mess, but never lose the map.

Navigate Complexity with Clarity

Business isn’t simple. I thrive in the gray areas, balancing data, culture, and context, ll while keeping strategy actionable and grounded. Intellectual humility means I adapt as we learn, not just stick to a script.

Ideal for brands facing growth, change, or cross-market challenges, especially if you want someone who can cut through the noise without oversimplifying your reality.

Build for tomorrow, not just today.

Long-Term Brand Equity

I’m not here for quick wins or trendy campaigns. Every move is designed to create lasting value, helping your brand survive boardroom battles, market shifts, and the chaos of real growth.

Perfect for founders and leaders who want to invest in a brand that stands the test of time, not just the next quarter.

Brands are built for people, not personas.

Human-Centered Strategy

Behind every business problem is a human one. I design brands that connect emotionally and culturally, using real insights, not just data points, to drive meaningful resonance.

Essential for organizations seeking authentic connection across diverse audiences, or anyone who knows that “relatable” beats “predictable” every time.
