Context changes everything.

Growing up across Niger, Mali, Kenya, Spain and Italy taught me to notice context before I speak. International relations trained me to ask who a message serves; marketing taught me how to make it travel.

That trajectory makes me an observant communicator: quick to adapt, careful with language and happiest where research, culture and creative execution meet.

Colour the archive.

You made it this far. That’s already more reading than most meeting agendas get.

If you’re working on a problem that needs research, clarity and good communication, I’d like to hear about it.

Bring me the complicated bit.
