I'm a brand strategist and cultural theorist who explores how pop culture, media, and technology impact individual and collective identity.

My favorite research topics include digital anthropology, the diffusion of innovations, compensatory consumption, aesthetic labor and AI, media ephemerality and memory, parasocial relationships, and the fandom economy.

My distinct POV on cyclical trends, consumer behavior, and fashion theory is informed by my education and professional background in communications and retail transformation at major fashion brands.
