Founder / CEO at DateEvolution.com

Portland, Oregon

The conscious community is woefully underserved in the online dating space. With a nuanced set of values, beliefs and lifestyle choices, mainstream dating sites leave them feeling frustrated and unseen. Finding aligned partners online is a constant struggle – well beyond the norm. I intend to change that. With 20 years of combined experience in web design and digital strategy AND as part of this community myself, I have strong vision around how to better serve them on all levels (and the chops to make it a reality). To learn more visit <a href="http://DateEvolution.com">DateEvolution.com</a> where I've outlined this vision in more detail.

Founder / CEO

I work with clients whose businesses feed the greater good – specifically in the area of spiritual awakening, women's empowerment, health and happiness. On the digital strategy end, I provide comprehensive digital marketing solutions and business consulting services to maximize how client brands are experienced through digital interactions (and beyond), how those interactions fit into the broader customer experience and, ultimately, how they impact the prosperity of my client's business. On the virtual assistant end, I serve in more of an implementation and support role – typically building and managing online marketing efforts (website updates, email campaigns, social media posts) and/or lending administrative support. For some clients, I do a mix of both strategy and virtual assistance.Specific services include:• Audience research, market and technographic research, insights and trends• Audience profiling, segmentation and persona development• Business development services• Business processes and supporting staff assessment and strategy• Digital property/assets audits (qualitative and quantitative) • Digital experience strategies (including content, light-med.
