The Retail Test: a leadership diagnostic that routes executives to the right agenda

A twelve-question diagnostic for senior retail leaders, built end to end. It scores three dimensions, returns a leadership archetype, and sends each attendee toward the sessions that match how they actually operate. Strategy, copy, scoring model, and build.

NRF Nexus 2026Full site · IA + copy

Rebuilding an entire event site, structure and words

Reorganized the information architecture for NRF Nexus and wrote new copy across the whole site, from the hero down to the navigation labels.

Naming and voice for a private philanthropic network

Site copy and positioning for a curated community of founders, philanthropists, and operators. I named the programs members join and wrote a mission that reads as an invitation rather than a pitch.

Hawke MediaSeries · 2025–26

A TV and web series, pitched to TikTok Studios

I designed and produced an original series as a top-of-funnel property rather than a campaign. It carried the brand into a format the category had not tried and became the largest single driver of new business that quarter.

How I work

Research first, and a number attached to every piece.

I find the opening in search demand, in the words customers use for their problems, and in where the category is heading. Then I build for experience, expertise, authority, and trust, and measure the whole way through.

01 · Research

Find the opening

Search data, sales calls, support tickets, and category gaps. The brief starts from evidence, not from a brainstorm.

02 · Build

Build for the reader

The first test is whether it earns someone's time. Downloads, completion, time on page, and return visits answer that.

03 · Report

Tie it to revenue

Every piece serves one goal, set at the outset, so attribution becomes a reporting question, not an argument.

Get in touch

If any of this sounds like the problem on your desk, I'd like to hear about it.

I answer everything. Tell me what you are building and what is in the way, and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right person for it.
