Hi, I’m Ava.

Severely enthusiastic about branding, marketing, and pop culture. Professionally curious about why a good idea works.

Ava, in one of many open tabs.

I like the moment when a brand becomes part of the conversation.

A phrase people repeat. Packaging they keep. A post they send to a friend. I want to know the thinking that made it happen—and then get in the room to make the next one.

I studied strategic communication and creative advertising at CU Boulder and now focus on brand management in NYU’s M.S. in Integrated Marketing. My experience spans brand strategy, marketing copy, social content, and retail outreach. I bring a mix of strategic thinking, visual curiosity, and a healthy amount of enthusiasm.
