HI, MY NAME IS VAN.

I am a marketing strategist, cross-functional writer, team orchestrator, and brand champion.

I’m also a dog mom who made the kessel run in less than 11 parsecs.

My experience spans multiple industries and ranges from digital to IRL, startup to enterprise, B2C to B2B, and beyond.

I love the challenge of differentiating brands through impactful content.
