CANNABIS PORTFOLIO

Six short years, one wild ride.
From independent manufacturers to large multi-state operators, I spent six years helping cannabis brands build, grow, and navigate an industry unlike any other.

My work spanned brand strategy and development, product launches, market expansion, packaging, retail experiences, and local, regional, and national marketing campaigns across seven states and 42 retail locations.
