What happens when you take a brand seriously — but not its comfort zone?


I don’t invent brands—but I do give them a makeover. A personal stylist turned corporate. Out with “we’ve always done it this way.” And in with “let’s make something people actually care about. Think about. Dream about.” From global rebrands to culture-driving campaigns, I thrive in making the unexpected. 

I can’t go back in time (trust me, I’d have made some different fashion choices in the early 2000s) or rebrand myself, unfortunately—otherwise, I’d have given myself a mysterious past, a Scottish accent, and a name like “Colt Thunder.”

But I can rebrand the world around me. And that’s the next best thing.

If your brand needs its own makeover (minus the questionable 2000s fashion), let’s chat.
