THE METHOD
It is a bespoke way I meet you on your terms so you can meet your people on theirs.
It was born from the Science of Human Behavior and it morphed into a robust and innovative way to be authentic.
As a collection of multidisciplinary tools, it aligns brands with their owners' flow.
I call it
HOW
I imagine what you see, I go into your dream and I let myself work for your big idea.
create value in many shapes and forms.
find the bigger meaning.
build bridges between people and ideas.
find patterns in chaos.
use KPIs only as proof of underlying values, behaviors, and great minds. Never as a means to an end.
respect you as my client and don't care to "sell" at the expense of people’s wit.
WHAT I DON'T DO
I don't do anything because "this is the way to do it". I make the way to do it.
My effective hour covers a lifetime of expertise and practice, so I never charge by the hour.
I never enter unpaid pitches.
I don't test your reliability because trust is not something you win, but rather a thing you lose. And I also believe in karma.
I don't try to win you over with fancy presentations or brag about my portfolio. I cherry-pick and I expect the same.
I don't compete with anybody. I am good at what I do and you'll see that fast.
I don't put you first, I put your own clients first, while caring about everything you need to better serve them. We are all final clients who deserve things done well.
FEES
I am very flexible in the way I choose my projects and I only do what you need.
Fees are in line with the value contribution of delivering fast and high-quality services.
I invest in myself on a daily basis so that I can serve you better and I don't need to be busy all the time.

Gently but firmly she holds our direction, imposes the action, and gives me peace of mind that if she takes on a project, it’s in good hands.
