Portfolio

Over my 16+ year career, I've helped numerous clients achieve significant growth through strategic digital marketing initiatives. Here are some of my most notable projects and achievements.

Cute n' Country (2013–2020)

Founded in the fall of 2013, Cute n' Country tapped into a niche market of country lifestyle enthusiasts.

Key Achievements

  • Scaled from first sale to six-figure profit months within 6 months
  • Managed nearly $3 million in ad spend across Google, Pinterest, and Facebook
