​The work I do is guided by three principles: kindness in collaboration, curiosity in approach, and action that moves ideas into reality.

About me

The Philosophy: The Generalist Specialist

Most people are told to pick one path and stay in their lane. I’ve always found the view better when you’re constantly changing lanes.
 

I am a Generalist Specialist.
 

In a world increasingly dominated by AI and hyper-niche experts who see only one sliver of the puzzle, I offer something rare: the ability to connect the dots across the entire board. I am fluent across industries and trades, but a master of one thing: getting the job done.


Growing up across cultures taught me to see opportunity where others see boundaries. I'm a bilingual marketing creative who thrives on unlikely connections.

My career has taken me from managing BBC Radio 1' and Sony Playstation's online community in 2010 to leading campaigns for NASA astronauta in Antactica., luxury brands, and the space industry.

 

I've coordinated the international Gumball 3000 rally, produced live performances with Neil deGrasse Tyson and William Shatner, and helped brands find their voice across language, culture, and medium.

I am AI-fluent and data-informed, but always human first. Real connection beats code every time.

lucy et al. 

Lucy "et al" exists because I've never fit neatly into one box, and I've stopped trying to. The Latin phrase means "and others," and that's exactly what I am: a multi-hyphenate who wants to do it all and learn it all.

 

Research and insights,, strategy, storytelling, problem-solving, yes, but also community building, cultural translation, creative direction, and whatever else the project demands.

 

I'm still adding to the list.​

 

Onwards! Ad astra.
