The sooner you get clear about your brand strategy, the sooner you have control over your business growth.

The Legacy Brand Program™ is a customizable coaching program designed to meet you where you are in your brand growth journey.

Each workshop and module build on each other, helping you gain clarity, uncover patterns of inconsistency and gaps in your brand, and with guided prompts and homework assignments, helps you develop the foundation for a brand that is both timely and timeless.

Work With Me


Let me help you get to the heart of your brand.

Brands with a clear identity and strong core values are more profitable, anchor employees, and inspire customer loyalty.

I have spent the last 15 years of my career combining my knowledge of human psychology and consumer behavior, with my passion for social causes, to help my clients build brands that are sustainable, inclusive, and socially responsible.

I was born in a small island country, Cape Verde, where I was exposed to local fisherman, farmers, and merchants who sold their goods on the open market. One of them was my serial entrepreneur grandmother, who owned a hardware store, ran a bar at an airport, and was also a seamstress and merchant of fabrics. After immigrating to the US, and growing up in New England, I earned by Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature from Rhode Island College. I now live in the NYC metro area with my amazing teen and have the incredible privilege of working with business owners who care about the communities they serve.

I look forward to working with you and to helping you build your legacy brand.
