I've Been Building Brands for 25 Years.

Now I Build Them Smarter.

Over 1,000 projects. Fortune 500 clients. Brands collectively worth $200 million. I've spent two decades at the intersection of strategy, design, and digital innovation. As founder of Group 8 — including Element 8, Moonbox, and NUOX — I don't just strategize. I execute. Your brand strategy never stays on paper. What's changed: AI is now my force multiplier. Research that took weeks takes days. Analysis that required a full team, I deliver with sharper tools and deeper precision. The quality goes up. Your cost drops dramatically. No bloated agency. No wasted budget. Just brands that dominate.
