I work with clients to problem solve, create solutions, and strategically position brands for growth.
I'm an expert in Consumer Research and Insight Development, Brand Positioning and Innovation.
For Brand Strategy I use a Purpose-led approach, Giraffe defines WHY your brand exists, WHAT it does and HOW it does it.
Giraffe works with CPG, beauty and food brands but in particular I like to work with Total Wellness brands. These brands work at the intersection of personal health and wellness, the health of the planet and the health of their community.

Why Giraffe
While I originally chose the name Giraffe simply because I like Giraffes, I have come to realize over time how appropriate it is for the name of a brand consultancy. So many characteristics of good branding are comparable to that of a Giraffe's.
A Giraffe's long neck is an essential look out, ideal for a brand that needs to keep an
eye on the world it operates in to ensure it stays relevant.
No two Giraffes look the same, a Giraffe's unique patches distinguish it from the rest of the herd,
just like a brand wants to stand out from the crowd.
WIth the largest heart in the animal kingdom it's easier to emotionally connect with others acting
from the heart to deliver an authentic perspective.
And finally, a Giraffe returns to where it was born to give birth. A brand that knows where it comes from,
rooted in purpose and positioned well will always know where it is going.
