I design Systems, Stories, and Strategy for building power

From political campaigns to civic-tech platforms to brand ecosystems, I design the narratives, tools, and infrastructure that help movements and missions grow.

Modern movements need more than good vibes and pretty design. They need infrastructure, insight, and a story that cuts through the noise.

I work across political strategy, brand systems, and digital product design to help changemakers build power, tell better stories, and move fast without breaking what matters.I've led strategy and creative for insurgent mayoral campaigns, built CRM platforms like Pulsar Campaigns, and launched tools through Rubix Labs that reimagine how we organize. Whether you're trying to win hearts, shift narrative, or mobilize at scale, I help make it real.

Your company's brand identity should be as groundbreaking as your product.

Even the most disrupting product needs a great brand to get business results.

How I can help you

🧭 Strategy & Architecture

I work with movements, startups, and campaigns to define their core positioning and build the frameworks they need to lead with clarity. This includes brand and campaign strategy, narrative positioning, and political or civic consulting. Whether you're preparing for a launch, scaling a movement, or recalibrating your messaging, I help you clarify your goals, align your story, and design a roadmap that moves people and power.

🧬 Identity & Experience

From high-impact campaigns to civic platforms and mission-driven brands, I design identity systems that align visual aesthetics with strategic intent. That means more than logos—it’s about crafting a whole ecosystem of meaning, symbolism, and usability. I specialize in UX/UI design and full website builds that are not only beautiful but built to convert, engage, and evolve with your audience.

🎥 Storytelling & Media

I bring ideas to life through sharp, emotionally resonant media. From campaign launch videos to content series and graphic design assets, I lead with creative direction that stays grounded in strategy. I’ve produced video and visual content that’s reached hundreds of thousands, turning complex issues into visual narratives that inspire trust, connection, and action.

⚙️ Infrastructure & Tools

At the systems level, I build digital infrastructure for organizing and impact. Whether it's a campaign CRM, a civic engagement tool, or an MVP for your next big idea, I design platforms that are intuitive, scalable, and rooted in how people actually organize. Through Rubix Labs and Pulsar Campaigns, I’ve helped develop tools that support movements with data, insight, and reach—all without compromising on values.

FAQs

How long does a project take?

It depends on what we’re building. A streamlined brand and website can take 4–12 weeks. A full strategic overhaul, digital platform, or custom CRM might take much longer. I don’t rush work—but I do move fast when the mission calls for it.

What’s your process?

It’s iterative, not cookie-cutter. We start by getting crystal clear on your goals and positioning, then build from the inside out—strategy → structure → design → refinement. Whether it’s a website, campaign, or software product, the foundation is always thoughtful architecture and sharp storytelling.

My work process →

Do you only work on political or civic projects?

Not at all. While a lot of my work lives in that world, I also work with startups, nonprofits, and cultural initiatives that are trying to do something real in the world. If you’ve got purpose and complexity, I’m interested.

How do you price your work?

Everything is custom-scoped based on goals, timelines, and collaboration needs. I’ve done solo sprints and led full creative + dev teams. Let’s talk about what you need and what success looks like—we’ll build the scope from there.

Are you an agency or a freelancer?

Neither, really. I’m an independent strategist and builder who collaborates with a trusted crew of designers, developers, strategists, organizers, and engineers when projects scale. Think of me as your point person for anything from messaging to platform infrastructure—with a network behind me when needed.
