Know yourself. Know your audience. Communicate clearly.

About Me

I am a communications strategist with a background in digital media, public relations, and audience behavior. For the past eight years, I’ve worked at the intersection of messaging, community engagement, and online culture, helping organizations and creators communicate clearly, build trust, and navigate high‑visibility environments.

My career has taken me through a wide range of roles: social media strategist, PR coordinator, influencer coach, and event organizer. Across all of them, the through‑line has been the same — I help people understand people. Whether I’m guiding a creator through a growth plateau, coordinating messaging for a major game launch, or analyzing how audiences respond to a campaign, my focus is always on clarity, trust, and long‑term strategy.

I’ve coached online creators to tens of millions of organic views, supported AAA gaming campaigns with Zebra Partners, strengthened community engagement at Coding Dojo, and improved team communication and morale during my time with Microsoft’s Global Engagement Services. I’ve also managed live events, negotiated partnerships, and built relationships across industries — from tech to entertainment to local venues in Seattle.

My approach blends data‑driven insight with human‑centered communication. I’m comfortable analyzing trends, simplifying complex ideas, and helping organizations understand how their message is received by the people they serve. I’m especially interested in work that involves public trust, transparency, and long‑term communication planning — areas where thoughtful strategy can make a meaningful difference.

Today, I use my experience to help organizations modernize their communication, understand their audiences, and build stronger, more credible relationships with the communities around them.

If you’re looking for someone who can translate complexity into clear messaging, analyze public perception, or support long‑term communication strategy, I’d love to connect. – Austin
