You have an ideal image of yourself, your brand, and your environment in mind.
I help you embody and intentionally communicate that ideal version.
I’m an assistant professor of instruction, researcher in consumer and design sciences, and the founder of Revel — a consulting and education studio where aesthetics become a strategic asset. My work blends academic research with real-world experience to show you how appearance, branding, and environments shape perception, trust, and value long before words ever do.
Through Revel, I teach you how to use these signals intentionally so you can communicate identity with clarity, stand out in saturated markets, and influence how people respond to you.
