Keeping current with what’s trending is all fun and games until you’re emotionally invested in the box office success of weekly theater releases for major blockbusters.

I will always be inspired by what’s currently going on in the film & entertainment industry, no matter the niche or genre — you can bet I’m tapped in and your best friend at trivia night!

Aside from the magic of the movies, I love to read and I’ve currently been hooked on any cozy mystery I can get my hands on — and will never say no to a horror novel recommendation!

Working in a creative field means drawing inspiration from all sources whether or not you’re actively intending to. A few key individuals that I find myself returning to for personal and professional motivation are…

Leading professional growth & development expert, Timm Chiusano.

Corporate misfit & industry trailblazer, Jennifer Romolini.

Pop-culture diva & marketing extraordinaire, the Duolingo Owl.

I’m easily inspired by most aesthetics and can comfortably shift from one palette to the next.

Whether it’s clean, minimalist, and luxurious or bold, maximalist, and elevated — there is value and beauty in staying true to your brand ethos.

There are several brands that truly never miss (or haven’t yet) when it comes to their omni-channel marketing strategies.

Selkie, Liquid Death, Saie Beauty, and Olipop are a few of the brands who’s social media presence I routinely look to for inspiration and draw upon for mass-market competitor analysis.
