Mission Statement

For years, I’ve watched major corporations and big names push out the small businesses that once formed the backbone of our country. Too often, giant establishments bully their way into markets, leaving these once-thriving, mom-and-pop shops to be replaced by soulless, greedy storefronts. 

I believe that communities are built and supported by local businesses. Why? Because I’ve seen firsthand how people come together and draw on the strengths of their neighbors to thrive. We need more family-owned shops and hole-in-the-wall restaurants. We need to take back what’s ours.

As someone whose father supported our family with his own local business in the Bay Area, I understand the pride business owners take in their work, and I’m here to help you get the recognition your hard work deserves. 

In 7th grade, my father employed me at his local landscape company in

the Bay Area, where I learned the importance of hard, honest work. Those long summer days under the California sun—pouring cement, digging post holes, building decks molded me into the person I am today. After noticing a growing demand for a social media presence, my father tasked me with setting up and maintaining a Facebook page for his company.

What began as managing my family business’s social media over ten years ago has now turned into a full-time passion. Through the rigorous work and lessons my father taught me, I know the value of integrity and that things must be earned, not given. Today I use those values to write, edit, film, and direct marketing videos for local businesses right here in Mendocino County. I’m ready to collaborate with you to meet your needs where you are, so email or call me and let’s get creating.

So, what do you say? Let’s take back the storefronts.

Let's show California that small, local businesses aren’t dead. 

Let’s level the playing field.
