Projects

Rebranding A Category Creator

Globalization Partners — Brand Strategy & Rebrand As lead strategist, I guided the rebrand of Globalization Partners, the category creator in international hiring. Facing new competition from agile startups with modern, remote-work-focused positioning, the brand needed to shed its dated, HR-heavy image and reclaim its leadership. Through stakeholder interviews, competitive research, and market analysis, I developed a fresh brand strategy that repositioned them with clarity and confidence as G-P. I crafted the brand manifesto, tone of voice guidelines, and all key messaging, and also directed the visual redesign to align with a streamlined, digital-first aesthetic. The result: a bold, modern identity that reasserted G-P’s category leadership while resonating with the next generation of global businesses.See More

Brand Launch, Naming & Architecture

BrightDrop — Brand Launch & Strategy As part of the founding team that launched BrightDrop, General Motors’ innovative electric delivery and logistics brand, I led key aspects of the brand’s creation and rollout. Working alongside the creative director, I helped steer the visual identity, including the design of the BrightDrop logo and system. I wrote the brand’s tone of voice guidelines and all foundational messaging, ensuring the brand spoke with clarity, energy, and vision. I also led the naming strategy for two of BrightDrop’s flagship electric trucks as well as its proprietary operating system, and developed a clear brand architecture to define how these products fit within the GM portfolio. Our success on the brand launch led to a significantly expanded engagement, where we became their Agency of Record and redesigned BrightDrop’s website to reflect its bold, modern positioning and better connect with its customers.

Researching Gen Z & Alpha

My most recent project involves significant qualitative research on Gen Alpha and Z. I interviewed 50+ 12-25 year olds in an in-depth, vulnerable conversation about life today for NY Times Best Selling Author Dr. Shefali's new book. We dove into the complexities and pressures facing this generation, from body dysmorphia to self harm, the influence of social media and evolving identity.See More

Trend Reports - Writing & Synthesis

I worked with the team at PSFK for quite a few trend reports - determining the patterns, sourcing research and writing the white papers. Topics included NFTs, Customer Journeys for Retail and the Cannabis Industry.See More
