Word on the street…
Finley's ability to get up to speed quickly in a highly ambiguous environment is a testament to her capacity, wide berth of talents and overall savvy. In a role that reaches some of the highest branches of leadership for our client, a role with nearly unrelenting exposure to C-Suite level executives at both companies, she was able to work with a new team to assimilate often unclear and constantly changing tasks in a manner not often seen except in hardened industry vets. Her flexibility and overall joyful attitude drives her fundamentally cooperative approach to ensuring everyone around her is as happy she's there as they are happy she's delivering the work at a high level.
Finley seems to thrive on new content and things to learn, to the point where at times, you don't even feel like you need to complete the sentence of your ask before she's saying "I'm in!"
— Alex Barrett, Communications & Media Technology Senior Operations Delivery Lead at Accenture
Finley is a gifted creative with an authentic eye for the aesthetic of a brand. She is a valued team member.
— Elizabeth Morrison, Global Head Inclusion, Recruitment & Development at Creative Artists Agency (formerly Live Nation Entertainment)
I bring nothing more than some crude powerpoint mockups and unorganized thoughts — and somehow Finley is able to organize my ideas and create something that's visually impactful, cohesive, and well designed.
— Rachel Phillips, Cybersecurity Strategy Senior Manager at Accenture
Finley is a go-getter, great with juggling multiple projects, an excellent creative writer, and Finley was always prepared to pitch in and help the team in any capacity needed. We were very lucky to have had Finley on our team.

Finley is a top tier creative professional. She’s passionate, timely, and a true joy to work with – going above and beyond... I highly recommend working with Finley as a consultant, freelancer, or even full time (if you’re lucky to snatch her).
— Sarah Grosz, Influencer Marketing at Allbirds; Founder of goodCPG
I highly recommend Finley for marketing and creative collaboration and leadership. Her diverse skill set, which encompasses creative, strategic, and analytical talents, positions her as an invaluable asset across industries. Finley's proficiency in management, copywriting, email marketing, social media, as well as her adeptness in art direction, showcases her ability to excel in a multitude of marketing-related fields. It’s a pleasure to work with her on all kinds of creative projects as she consistently provides support and inspirational feedback to help me succeed.
— Amelia Ruan, Senior Graphic Designer at the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce
Finley brings a lot to the table! Highly skilled in communications, design, social media, and UX, Finley was also a constant source of creative ideas... Finley always ensured our team was fully supported.

From Tike to Teen
I am a Third Culture Kid. This means Google will accurately inform you that I am adaptable, comfortable with nuance and ambiguity, and likely multilingual (moi, je parle français!). I am also a dual citizen in the EU and eligible to work in the UK without sponsorship.
It all began with a brief stint outside of DC, where I made my entrance, “looking like [my] grandfather with a nasty hangover.” My parents wasted no time whisking me around the world. I can eulogize an authentic Belgian Waffle, Fondue, or Croque Monsiuer like no other.
I spent my formative teenage years in the hometowns of Nirvana and Green Day, and to this day, I collect Dr. Martens and band tees like Tom Hanks collects typewriters.
The One Where Finley Fancies Herself an Academic
I graduated from Stanford University’s Online High School “before it was cool” and entered into five straight years of higher education where I earned two top-tier degrees in communication and branding/marketing at University of Southern California.
I was then offered a spot in a — arguably the — top Communication PhD program in the US (also at USC) to study media psychology. But, in a self-assured albeit unanticipated turn of events, I bet on my potential beyond nerdom and ventured out into “the real world” to start a career in branding.
Greetings From the BeReal World
Since 2016, I’ve worked on diverse projects spanning Marketing, PR, Creative, and Social Media/Digital Communications teams across a variety of industries. I have intermingled various freelance consulting projects, long-term contracts, and full time positions.
I am a communication design generalist and team leader with extensive experience in website design, integrated communication and marketing campaigns (internal and external), go-to-market launches, communication and engagement strategy, experience production, copywriting, art direction, branding, program management, process automation and SOP optimization, change management, and executive communications.
Currently, I work closely with senior executives in Big Tech. I look forward to envisioning how we might work together!
