storyteller. Brand strategist. illustrator.

Hi there. I’m Amber–a San Francisco-based writer, and shameless sucker for small creatures, dirty secrets, and wailing guitars. I get stoked about work that challenges taboos, gives people the shivers (the good kind), and makes brands feel more like best friends than businesses. I love to set the mood and create a vibe that welcomes people to be their weird little meat-bodied selves. 

I’ve put in my time as both a creative and a strategist, meaning I come at brands from the inside out—gut-checking that every story and phrase is rooted in purpose.

Off the clock, you’ll find me cruising on bike to a swimming hole with a pack full of snacks, colored pencils, and a soundtrack that slaps.
