I make brands feel like they already belong to culture.

I connect community outreach, brand partnerships and content to build visibility. My work spans football clubs, nightlife, consumer brands and artists—from the first relationship to the campaign going live.

03 / Chicago House AC

Football.
Beyond the pitch.

I helped build Chicago House AC through community outreach, local brand partnerships, music and matchday storytelling. Starting as a player and social collaborator, I grew into Director of Media and a board-level creative voice—connecting relationships to sponsorship opportunities and brand exposure.

Role / Media direction, community activation, partnerships, matchday content

I connected community outreach with commercial opportunities: building relationships with local brands, helping acquire sponsorships and bringing those partners into the club’s content and matchday experience. Alongside the music and cultural outreach, that work expanded who the club could reach—and who had a reason to invest in it.

04 / House Calls + FREE KICKIN’

The afterparty
became the brand.

House Calls widened the soccer audience by building a nightlife and music world around it. FREE KICKIN’ carried the conversation into a podcast led by elite football voices. I worked as Drew Conner’s right hand across media, marketing and creative direction.

From idea.
To sold out.

I founded SOSO SERIES in Santa Barbara as a clothing brand and creative agency, building the product, visual identity and launch marketing. The hoodie sold out in two weeks and reached athlete and artist networks, including Lonnie Walker and Ismaila Jome.

10 / What I build next

Build the brand.
Grow the business.

The same skills behind a club launch, artist campaign and clothing sellout can build a new consumer brand’s presence: content people care about, credible collaborators, community partnerships and a clear path to purchase.

Define

Build a distinctive brand voice and visual world from zero, then own the TikTok and Instagram publishing rhythm.

Educate

Turn protein, fiber, lactose-free and clean-label benefits into useful everyday content for athletes and wellness consumers.

Seed

Use athlete and creator relationships plus community outreach to build collaborations with cafés, gyms, studios and retail partners.

Convert

Capture interest through email/SMS and a launch waitlist; connect content to Shopify, TikTok Shop and Amazon, testing the website journey from awareness to purchase.
