Creative, leadership, and everything in between for brands, agencies, and the algorithms in the mix.
aka Tess
I’m the creative companies call when the work is too strategic for a freelancer and too cross-functional for a single team. I've led teams at Akamai, Zeals-AI, and Axonius, shipping across digital, product, brand, marketing, experiential, and the strategy work underneath all of it, while managing the people who do the same.
What I care about
Building creative teams that punch above their weight, translating fuzzy business goals into work that actually moves a number, and exploring how AI changes (and doesn't change) what a great creative does, not because AI is having a moment, but because the creatives who understand it now will be the ones leading studios in five years.
