My Bio
Alright, here’s my wild ride.
I kicked off my career in advertising, crafting visuals and campaigns that didn’t just sell — they made people feel. After seven years in the agency world, I thought, why not do my own thing? So I did.
I launched ACHU! Studio, my creative playground where ideas ran wild. For a decade, it was my heaven of creative chaos — a place where every project was a chance to push boundaries and make something unforgettable.
But I wasn’t done. I co‑founded Not So Humble with another brilliant woman, creating a strategic dojo where brands become living, breathing entities. These days, I’m digging deep into insights, finding the emotional core of a brand, and weaving that into everything it says and does.
That journey has naturally led me deeper into foresight. I’m not just spotting trends; I’m decoding signals, catching the future waves, and blending them with my creative strategy to help brands move with purpose toward what’s next.
So here I am —piloting a journey where creativity meets strategy and tomorrow’s possibilities. Every project is a chance to explore, imagine, and build — and to collaborate with organizations turning future signals into purposeful action.
