I write, speak and teach about finding your buyers.

I write, speak and teach about finding your buyers.

My background is in growth design for tech.

I spent 10+ years leading growth projects for tech companies like Gusto, Prosper, and Burner. With my skillset in design, my lens has always been audience-centric. My revenue growth projects were successful by turning more casual lookers into a loyal fans.

I was instrumental in popularizing a practice known as "growth design" which blends business, growth and design. I started the Growth Designers community and I have given talks internationally on the subject, working with analytics companies like Amplitude and Segment to educate tech teams on how to use data to inform their work and measure their impact.

In 2019, I started my own growth design consultancy, and in 2021, I shifted my focus to marketing for creatives. I created a program called Growthtrackers which supported creative entrepreneurs with finding and booking clients.

These days, I write, speak and teach on all things related to small audience monetization. I run three newsletters: Journalists Pay Themselves, Low Energy Leads and Revenue Rulebreaker which are all audience-supported by the Legends.

I hail from Georgia, which is where my penchant for sweet tea comes from, but I spent over 15 years in California before returning home. My political newsletter “LA Pays Attention” received statewide acclaim and was acquired by the LA Public Press in 2023. I currently live in Atlanta, GA though I love to travel so invite me to your city!
