Winning
in the Room

A selection of new business pitches led through creative direction, collaboration, and experience design

New Business • Pitch Leadership • Experiential Thinking

New business environments demand clarity, speed, and strong creative leadership. Beyond the work itself, success often hinges on how ideas are framed, how teams collaborate under pressure, and how a room is energized around a shared vision.

Across multiple pitches, I’ve helped lead creative direction and experience design—shaping how stories are told, how teams show up, and how ideas land in high-stakes settings.

Design plays a critical role in new business environments—not just in how ideas look, but in how they are framed, experienced, and understood under pressure.

My role often centers on shaping the creative point of view early, helping teams translate strategy into a clear narrative, and ensuring that design supports the story being told in the room—whether through environment, motion, or visual systems.

How I Approach New Business

Lead with the idea
I focus on defining a clear creative point of view early, so every contribution aligns around a shared direction.

Design the experience, not just the deck
From environment to motion to narrative pacing, I think holistically about how ideas are experienced in the room.

Create momentum under pressure
New business moves fast. My role is often to help teams stay focused, confident, and cohesive as timelines compress.
